Through a thread about quilting designers here on the board I became aware of something interesting: some quilt teachers also offers lectures where they talk about their quilting career, how they developed their skills etc. They bring their work and answer questions of the audience.
Have you ever attended such a lecture? Can you tell me about your experience? I've never seen such offers here in Germany...

I do know that some professional teachers travel to Europe and lecture there. Try a search on the web for local quilt groups and their activities or search professional quilters that you like and look at the schedules.

I recently purchased a book by an award winning quilter. She is British. Her quilts are amazing and I was expecting not details or patterns, but a little more ideas on how to make the original designs. Instead it was a recollection of useless information about her design room, snap shots of her quilts and in general, information that you can get cheaper in any other quilting book. If I go to a trunk show I would expect this kind of things, but after attending the Ricky Tims Seminar, I have a high standard to measure lecturers. Is the only class I ever attended where I did no sewing but learned a lot.

I have attended several and always found them entertaining as well as very useful. If anyone has a chance to attend one I would highly recommend it. Besides that, most quilters could stand up and do a comedy show anyday of the week!
