I've taken several classes but the one I remember the most is one for an Around the world quilt. It's a really easy quilt to make but you have no idea how it's going to look until you cut the long strips you've sewn together and arrange them. The teacher was giving the instructions and it all sounded like Greek. There was an older gal next to me (someone the age I am now) and she said, "Oh I am recovering from a stroke and I thought this would be some thing nice to do while I'm recuperating and I think I'm lost". I told her I hadn't had any stroke and I was surely lost. We all made great quilts and I ended up making three more of that pattern but to a newby the explanation just went right over my head. I think some of the beauty of classes is the companionship and sharing that more experienced quilters give to new ones. I haven't taken a class in many years but I'd like to some time.
