I started the BOTM this year on this board and I'm really enjoying it. I look forward to the new pattern on the 1st of the month and it gives me a break from whatever else I'm sewing at the time.
I signed up for both Crafsy BOTM classes but I haven't made any. I didn't like the design of some, and never got around to starting the others. That reminds me I have several paid Craftsy classes I haven't even started on!
