I was a beginning quilter when I had the opportunity to take a class of Rami Kim's. She spoke at our guild and had classes the day after. We made a quilted vest which incorporated many of her techniques - unfortunately, mine is still in the UFO pile. Maybe someday it will get finished. If you ever have a chance to see or hear her, be sure to take advantage of it. She usually does a trunk show of her work when she speaks, and it is OUTSTANDING!
