I have taken classes I loved, and classes I hated. I took one from Bonnie Hunter and then became a groupie. She is a great teacher and even though I have been quilting for years, I learned some great tips. Just took a FMQ class from Frieda Anderson, which was great and has given me the courage to go ahead without fear. Took a starch applique class which I didn't like, but it did give me the jumping off point to tweak the skill a bit.
