I took numerous classes in the 80's while living in Nebraska...some of the teachers were well-known such as Mary Ellen Hopkins, Georgia Bonesteel, Marsha McCloskey, Anita Murphy and Marianne Fons. Other teachers were from the guilds who later went on to become well known, two of which were Jo Morton and Shelly Burge. I don't do classes much anymore but I did go to a Retreat in Georgia in Fall of 2009 which I really loved!! I tried to get in the following year but waited too long to sign up. Maybe next spring will work out. I would love to take a FMQ class but haven't found anything close enough yet. But still looking!
