Famous teachers: Threadplay with Libby Lehman, Paper Piecing with Carol Doak, a color theory class with Joen Wolfrom, a machine-applique class with Sue Nichols and Come Play with Me by Diane Hire. Would love to take a workshop with Paula Nadelstern.

I joined a class at the local senior center. Free to anyone over 50. (I'm 730. Taught by Eleanor Burns niece. She learned from her aunt. I told her it bothers me, how she throws scraps over her shoulder. She says that started when she, and 2 other nieces were behind her on the floor waiting for scraps to make doll clothes. I had made quilts before, but not with patterns, and didn't really know what I was doing. With this class and what I am learning on here I am getting better.

An eight week beginner class, then a machine quilting class. Then a few more classes. I try to choose classes where there will be something new for me. Then I bought a Bernina and signed up for all the free classes. I am currently signed up for a class called "About Trout" and the software mastery classes for Bernina. Can't wait! :-) Oh, is the Buggy Barn famous? I took a crazy camp class with them! That was loads of fun!

I took Karen McTavish's class "McTavishing on Your Domestic Machine" at the Machine Quilter's Expo last April. BEST class ever! I learned so much. I would say that she's the most "famous" of the teachers I've taken classes with. But I generally enjoy all the classes no matter who is teaching them!

I've only taken 1 class and it was free from our Library...it was for a sampler quilt and I wanted to learn more about paper piecing...I never completed the quilt...I learned what I wanted to about PP and was quite satisfied (someday I will use the blocks to make a small quilt or pillows...Love our library here...we attend a quilt quild at the library as well

I took a class with a friend (her idea) on making a reversible quilted jacket. Only wore it a couple times. Didn't like how it fit me. I would love to take a "real" quilting class, but the quilt shops are so far from home. That and I work evenings, so it's difficult to find one that works with my schedule.

Mimi Dietrich and Joyce Becker on a quilting cruise. What a great time. My favorite of all time is the class with Bonnie Hunter. She has inspired me tremendously. I always loved scrappy quilts and she is the Queen.
