In the years I've been quilting I've taken uncountable numbers of classes and workshops. Some (just a few) were taken with now well known teachers. Nancy Mahoney is one, she lives close by. Another would be Jane Hardy Miller, another Floridian, she taught her "French Braid" style, of course. I also took workshops with Ricky Timms and Alex Andersen. Most of the rest have been with local teachers who are very good. I've learned a lot from them, but find I do better once I'm all alone at home and can work at my own speed. 8-)
