You will LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Karen's class. I took that same class two years ago at MQX. Karen is warm, kind, generous with her knowledge and humerous. She is so funny and she is a great speaker and teacher. Her class includes a small trunk show so you get to see her work up close and personal. Take advantage and buy some of her books while you are there. I got Elemental Quilting and Custom Curves. Both include a DVD and have wonderful designs for quilting motifs. I am a total, unabashed Karen McTavish groupie.
