Taking quilting class from instructors that have never won a quilting award.
There seems to me a lot of quilt instructors going around lecturing and giving classes and very few of them have actually won at any of the bigger quilt shows. Some say I don't make quilts to enter shows. To me this means they teach to sell patterns or books. Which is fine, it's a good job. The best and most excellent quilt classes I have taken have been from quilters that have won many big show awards. They teach how to make a quilt, not how to follow a pattern. Anyone feel most teachers are teaching how to follow a pattern?
