I went to a week-long quilt camp with Marsha McCloskey. She teaches feathered stars, but included so much more about drafting, etc. that has been really helpful on other projects. I liked her teaching so much that I took another two-day class from her eight months later.

Did a two-day paper-pieced feathered star class from Paula Golden at our local quilt show last year. It was a little too advanced for my skill level at the time.

Attended a two-hour color class from Jinny Beyer.

Finally, a six-week long Illusions class through Quilt University taught by Karen Combs. That was a really good way for me to learn since one concept was introduced each week for four weeks.

I've signed up for a free-motion quilting bootcamp in October with Harriet Hargrave.

I agree. I took one log cabin, quilt in a day and it was a zoo. No time to relax as the teacher was trying to get all 15 quilts in the class finished that day. I do much better on my own. Since I'm left handed, I have had to teach myself most any handwork I tried. I read patterns well and have the patience to take my time. Don't put myself on a time schedule anymore like for birthdays or Christmas. They get 'em when they're finished.

In the years I've been quilting I've taken uncountable numbers of classes and workshops. Some (just a few) were taken with now well known teachers. Nancy Mahoney is one, she lives close by. Another would be Jane Hardy Miller, another Floridian, she taught her "French Braid" style, of course. I also took workshops with Ricky Timms and Alex Andersen. Most of the rest have been with local teachers who are very good. I've learned a lot from them, but find I do better once I'm all alone at home and can work at my own speed. 8-)

Yes, I took a paper piecing class and fell in love with paper piecing. The class was at Country Fabrics in Shiloh, Ohio.

My very first class three years ago was Lucky Stars followed by a twister class, two purse pattern classes, a class for binding, little woolies class, transfering photos to fabric, and famous teacher - two classes from Darlene Zimmerman one wedding ring and the other hummingbird pattern - Darlene is an awesome teacher and has great trunk shows.

I'm lucky enough to belong to a very active guild & we've had a lot of great teachers - Billie Lauder, Paula Nadelstern, Marci Baker, Judy Niemeyer, Carol Doak, Sally Collins, Becky Goldsmith, Sharon Schamber - lots more I can't think of. It's great to get these "famous" teachers as well as having some pretty awesome members in our own guild. You can always learn something new from every teacher & it's always fun!! Yesterday one of our members taught a class at a local restaurant - food was great too!!
