Patsy Thompson is the best!!!! I had the wonderful opportunity of meeting her at our guild and than going to her workshop the following day. I have her dvd's (which are fabulous with thousands of different motiffs to learn), but the class was sooooo worth it, as she started out for beginners and at end of day we practiced feathers. She came around to all of us (16) doing a one on one showing us tips to helps us. Just a wonderful teacher and I call her the queen of free motion with Leah Day in second. Patsy's quilts are so beautiful. Quite a talented lady. So if you ever get the chance to meet or take a workshop, I would highly say go for it. And her dvd's are very easy to follow and she goes into great detail explaining and showing. Did I say I just love her?????
