I belong to a pretty large guild and we manage to get in 'Professional's multiple times a year- when it is someone who does things I love I always go---if it is someone who I have no interest in (their technique/style) I pass...I have always believed it is well worth the cost and time...they bring in wonderful trunk shows, do great lectures, workshops, classes- you can learn some wonderful new things and leave feeling totally inspired and motivated...some I have been privileged to meet (take classes/workshops with) are: Kay England, Eleanor Burns, Gwen Marsten, Edyta Sitar, Carol Armstrong, Judy Martin, Alex Anderson , Becky Goldsmith and Mark Lipinski...there are others- but those are the names that pop into my head right now---everyone has been an absolute pleasure!

I also like Eleanor Burns, Fons & Porter, and Jenny Doan's tutes on youtube. Eleanor's Quilt in a Day is the only TV show I know of where I can watch every episode free online.

I don't have a quilting guru right now, but in the past it was definitely Eleanor Burns and Georgia Bonesteel. Took classes with both. I've also taken quite a few applique classes just because I always learn something new from each instructor. Took classes with Ellie Sienkiewicz and Mary Sorenson, as well as several others. Took a LA class with Linda Taylor on doing feathers even though I'm not a LA'er. I have an upcoming 4-day class with David Taylor, another appliquer.
Right now my interest is in denser FM. But I've had several classes on that, including one with Diane Guadynski. (I've probably misspelled everyone's name!). So it's not likely I'd take another class on that.
Classes are fun. The possible only downsides for me are gathering up a bunch of special supplies that may not be used in class and the distinct possibility of another expensive UFO.
And I've also enjoyed and learned from many local/regional instructors.
