I was lucky enough to get a spot in one of her classes as I was on the "waiting list". Take the class, she's wonderful and the things that you learn will be well worth it. Who says you have to make an entire quilt? A couple of blocks is about the amount of time you might have. Show and tell time is great, both hers and any others there-if that's an option. Buying her book, I'm waiting for her blog to say it's pre-order time....I love them, will never make all of them, just plain great dream materials sometimes.
