I spent a lot of time doing free quilt Saturdays where you work on what you want with a teacher to help. I have done a couple of BOM samplers where you actually take a class about how to do the blocks and I learned a lot of techniques doing that. I have also done classes with Freddy Moran, a couple of fmq classes, Reynola Pakusich's Overlapping Circle Play, Mary Lou Weidman shadow play. A Christmas tree skirt with wedges, a nickle quilt and others I can't remember. I always look to learn a new technique when I take a class.
