I jsut finished a class with Judy herself in May at the LQS. She is a great teacher with lots of tips and techniques. She is a big fan of chain piecing and do all of the same pieces at the same time. I would love to take another class from her or one of her certified instructors.
The only pattern she does not teach currently according to her and her website is the new Glacier Star, which is the next one I would like to try. That was an agreement she made with the certified instructors.
I agree the patterns are pricey, but she does include all the preprinted foundation pieces for the size of the quilt listed on the box.
