Leah Day has many FMQ videos on youtube that you can watch for free. They are numbered and you can download them to your computer. I have a file folder that I put them all in. It is very helpful and informative.

I am really looking forward to learning all kinds of stuff. I am taking the craftsy 2012 BOM class and have completed 4 of the blocks for the sampler. Loving it.
I am wondering - what does a girl ask santa for for christmas? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Here is what I have procured so far:
Brother xr1300 (santa came early!)
cutting mat
6x24 ruler
rotary cutter (these 3 items were in a set for 1/2 price at Joann's!)
pins
frixion pen
basting spray
iron
fabric for my craftsy quilt
Here is what is already on my wish-list:
FABRIC!!!
batting
Leah Day's FMQ class on craftsy
12.5x12.5" ruler
thread set
table top ironing board (currently iron on a book on my coffee table)
seam ripper!!! (scissors just aren't cutting it - ha ha ha).
Just wondering what else to add to the list while I have time. Santa is well off (or so I hear) but I live on disability. Plus, my birthday is in January, so I need to strike while the iron is hot! Any ideas are appreciated. My "studio" is my couch and coffee table, so space is limited...
ps - i found out about this board from a widower friend. His wife was a member here. When she passed, you made the most beautiful memory quilts. How fantastically touching!
