I took one on machine quilting.

Just need to practice.... practice and more practice.

I am working on a lap quilt that will be one of my practice pieces.

Took a beginner class in Florida and made Yellow Brick Road. Took FMQ class last year. The rest I have done on my own.

I have attended Empty Spools seminars in Asilomar in Pacific Grove five years and taken from Alex Anderson, Margaret Mitchell, Vivian Johnson and several other well known quilters. Pacific Grove, right next to Carmel is a lovely vacation area with great scenery and great meals as well. It runs for 5 days each session but has become rather pricey , so I would call it a vacation with quilts. But absolutely inspirational.

If I would have taken more classes I wouldn't have had to learn so much by doing it WRONG!

One of my wishes is to have a class with Bonnie Hunter. The other wish would be to have a class with Gwen Marston. I think I'd toss Freddy Moran into the mix with Gwen. They're both great! 8-)

I just got into quilting in January, and have taken several classes. Because I am waiting for my old Singer to be repaired, my very first project isn't finished yet. But, I keep taking classes. I love to try things out...always have...and quilting isn't any different.

I haven't taken any classes from famous teachers. But I have taken a beginners class & then a twisted star class, but the most fun I have had was doing a monthly strip poker class.

I took online classes from Jenny Doan from Missouri Star
Quilt Co.
Since I am a beginner, I found them easy to follow and
instruction that I could understand.
They are great to refer to when you want to go back to
something that you can't rememberand need a refresher
course.

I took the class for the Mariner's Compass that is my Avatar. I took a beginning quilter class from the same LQS. I found with both that classes are meant as an introduction, and then you bring it home and have to figure it out.

I think a good starter class would cover beginning to end, with extra sessions (at extra cost) offered if necessary.
