I agree, teaching is an art of itself. I admire a good teacher. In my past life, I wanted to be a good teacher. This is a learning process; it takes a huge amount of work. I’m a true introvert; it would take seeing something awesome to push me enough to want to take any class. I’ve seen truly exceptional quilts at juried shows. I respect those who enter these shows because I wouldn’t see these quilts otherwise. They inspire my creativity. Not everything can be visualized thru IG, magazines (e.g. collage quilts). Whether artists win ribbons doesn’t matter to me, but those wanting to teach, to share their techniques, creativity .. this makes me thankful.
