Follow up. I selected the Sharon Schamber workshop at the Quilt Museum in July. It was nothing like I thought it would be but it was very good. I thought it would be more hands on but it was more lecture and theory and so many practical hints. I really enjoyed it and I am still thinking about concepts that she talked about weeks later. Sharon is an unbelievable wealth of knowledge. Everything from how needles work and fabric grain to the dynamics of color and quilting in the visual aspect of the quilt. Plus the women in the room were very very talented. I could have just chatted with them the whole time and learned a lot. There were about 20 of us.
If you ever have a chance to take a workshop at the Museum, do it. They were very accommodating and the class room is wonderful. Plus it really was not that expensive. There was 20 hours of class time and it was 375 plus they gave you a goodie bag, munchies and you could spend as much time in the museum as you wanted while you were there.
I think I will opt for the same concept for Christmas/birthday this year.
