Went to a quilt fest in Tenn. this past March. Took a hand quilting class from Cindy Blackberg and a class from Bonnie Hunter. Bonnie is a wonderful instructor and would reccommend her to anyone from beginning to advance.

I spent a lot of time doing free quilt Saturdays where you work on what you want with a teacher to help. I have done a couple of BOM samplers where you actually take a class about how to do the blocks and I learned a lot of techniques doing that. I have also done classes with Freddy Moran, a couple of fmq classes, Reynola Pakusich's Overlapping Circle Play, Mary Lou Weidman shadow play. A Christmas tree skirt with wedges, a nickle quilt and others I can't remember. I always look to learn a new technique when I take a class.

Anyway, she's from Penn. and she taught hand applique that's done with heat resistant mylar templates and sizing. She sells those perfect circles, and her her first and last name begin with the same letter. I can remember a lot about her except, of course, her NAME!

I don't take a lot of classes. I am mostly self taught. I am taking a class in a few weeks from Jennie Rayment. I can't wait. I am thinking about doing a BOM for a Baltimore Album. I figure it is the only way I will keep myself on track with it. I have always wanted to make one.

I have never taken a class on sewing, quilting, knitting or crocheting. I bought "Learn How" books and "Quilting 101". I am a self teacher. The board and other sites have helped me a great deal with their tips, etc. The tv shows have helped too. Once you learn to read the instructions, it is not that hard to make something. I love my hobbies. Take care, Mary
