There are many wonderful quilters and designers out there, if you could have a private "lesson" for a day, who would be your choice?
Me- Kathy McNeil (I already did once and would love to do it again)

I'm fortunate that I live near Carol Armstrong. Since I have had and would like more one on one with her, she'd be my choice.

Tough call- do I have to pick just one ?
Alex Anderson or Eleanor burns -- flipping the coin -- darn it - it landed on its edge :shock: LOL

I'd choose the creators of Piece 'O Cake Designs, Becky Goldsmith & Linda Jenkins.

Jinny Beyer

Oh it is way to hard to pick. Can i have one a day for a week? Boy that would be brain overload LOL

ooooh, that's a good one!

Elly Sienskiewiecz.

I pick....Quilt Board.

One of our members. Don't recall his name, retired tattoo artist. He took a bunch of different fabrics and blended them all together to make a beautiful scene. I would love to spend the day picking his brain.

Susan Briscoe! Or Kitty and Sylvia Pippen! Or Kumiko Sudo!

someone that would help me be less afraid of my embroidery machine...LOL

mark Lipinksi...again!

me too with Jenny, Another would be Carol Armstrong and Anita Solomon (forgot the rest of her last name, but I like her work) .

Alex Anderson is a member of the quilt guild I go to. I would love a private lesson with her.

Mary Ellen Hopkins!

Oh, she's a good one!! I have wanted to master log cabins!
Then again, Carol Doak and her paper piecing would be fantastic!
But, wait! Jinny Beyer has an eye for color blending that is fantastic!
No, wait!......Too many to choose!! Well, I'll be up all night thinking about this one!

Sharon Schamber would be my choice

Carol Doak!

Judy Mathieson AND Ricky Timms!!!

Me too I love his articles and think it would be too awesome to have his undivided attention :thumbup:

I have taken several classes with Carol, she is a hoot!

Me too! But Jinny Byer would be a close second running. I wouldn't mind going one on one on a little longarming with Karen McTavish either!

Carol Doak is a fabulous lady!! I know her personally and went to Paducah with her and a bunch of ladies right when she was starting out her amazing career. :D

I would pick reiversong from this borard as a teacher. Not --- kidding she does great work.

Bonnie Hunter.

oooohhh...shame on you....take me with you though!

right now I would love a day with Kim Deihl, I love her style and would love to learn more about some of her techniques. I have some of her books and want to make everything.
I think there are many great teachers though, I think Bonnie Hunter would be a really nice person to share the day with too, she seems so nice.

Hard one..hmmm...maybe Sharon Schamber.

hands down, caryl bryer fallert

Elly Sienskiewiecz- I wanted to sign a class she gave on the Broward Quilt Expo and missed it. The class filled up so quickly.
Mark Lipinski! I took a class with him0 very funny and very creative. I haven't finished the quilt I started in his class. He introduced me to embelishing fabrics with beads.

When I lived in New Hampshire, Carol Doak was the president of our guild - Hannah Dustin in Hudson, NH! She was such a sweet lady even back then.

I've already posted that I would like my private teacher to be Mark Lipinski, and that still stands, but while driving to work yesterday, it occurred to me that if I could spend a day with ANY private teacher, though she's not famous or known by many, it would be my late grandmother, Ms Minnie, she was an awesome quilter, both hand and treadle, I was young and had no interest in learning while she was alive but today, I would love to be a sponge and soak up her fountain of information.
