I just took a Judy Niemeyer Class and I really loved it but have a hard time with parts of it. At the LQS she has Judy Niemeyer Wednedsay the 4th Wed. of the month from 1:00 - 7:00. If you are enrolled in a class you get to go there and sew for the afternoon for free. The lady that teaches these class is a Certified J.N. teacher and the shop is certified. If you are not in a class the charge is $10.00. Considering you get a lot of instruction and help that is a real bargin to me. I have found that I really enjoy going and getting the extra help. I have a lot of money tied up in this quilt and I plan to go as long as I need to, to accomplish my goal. There are lots of quilters that go. I have found that I really love sewing in a group. Everyone is so nice and willing to help. I live in Texas near Galveston and I really love that shop. It is my happy place because I am a widow and even though I work 8 hours a day this is so good for me. So yes I really love sewing in a group.
