Nancy Odom taught at a quilt retreat I went to. She was wonderful, very down to earth and loads of fun.

Brenda Papadakis is in Texas. I had her last year at Empty Spools.

Jan Krentz, but she is West Coast.

I was told that Judy Neimeyer is very good (Montana). Paula Nadelstein is very good (New York). She came to my LQS once for a day workshop.

Gwen Marston (Michigan) is very good. She has taught at Empty Spools as well.

It also depends on what interests your guild has.
