I attended Ricky's seminar at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, CO August of 2004 with a dear friend. It was a two-day seminar, and his lectures were excellent and very organized. We were given notebook binders with the beautifully illustrated chapters corresponding to the lectures. He was very generous in displaying his quilts. If you have an opportunity to attend one of his seminars, go for it. His lectures probably are revised by now.
