Course Completions

     The Quilting Passion Forum hosts quilting classes, which began in January 2002, for all levels of expertise. These classes are tuition-free and even if they have already been completed, it is still possible to take the class since the vast majority of these online classes are not removed.  

Some classes may only be offered via the Internet and not require forum participation.  These classes have links to the Web and not the forum, such as Documenting Quilts and the HTML Tutorial.

      Input from quilters is important in that I want to offer what quilters want and need.  So, if you have a suggestion, please e-mail me!

Class criteria:

bullet

Participants must be a member of the Quilting Passion Forum (membership is free).  Refer also to criteria #7 below.

bullet

Instructors must be a member in good standing of the Quilting Passion Forum for a minimum of three (3) months before requesting to teach.

bullet

There must be at least five (5) persons to enroll in a class for it to be offered. The instructor can choose to offer the class with less than five, but it is not required.

bullet

Quilters enrolled in a class should keep instructors informed of their progress.

bullet

All instruction/lesson notifications are given on the forum, however Web pages are many times used and/or  referred to as supplementary teaching materials.

bullet

Participants are asked to submit a photo (digital is preferred, but not necessary) of their finished class work (whether it's a single block or a quilt). This is not required, but would be greatly appreciated!

bullet

There will be two (2) threads on the forum for each class: The first thread is the lessons thread and should only be used by the instructor(s), and the second thread is a discussion thread for use by the students and/or instructors to discuss progress, ask questions, post pictures of work in progress, etc.

bullet

All participants of a class that finish the class and submit a photo receive Certificates of Achievement and/or Completion.
