Been to classes for several hours when, if we could just stick to the subject, could have been done in half the time. I don't want to be a wet blanket, but sometimes a little moderation is in order.
I can't resist jumping in here---so many You Tube teachers go through blah, blah, blah before even getting started. I just want to learn the "how to" and not hear all the reasons why I need to know.
Except for one video that I watched. A young man was making a "Crazy Quilt" and the video started with him sewing the first blocks. Very little dialogue, and every word he said was important to me. I loved it. Went back and watched parts of it over again. No blah, blah.
Oh well, I know we women have a lot to say!
