3 Civil War BOM classes w/lecture; constantly learning about quilting and history. One still in progress
Techniques class; learned how to make a quilt using QAYG method and tons of new stitches and manipulting fabric to make designs
CW class
Scrap Therapy class making blazing star quilt
Hearts of Valor quilt
appliqueing w/wool
quilting fabric to make upline jacket
Famous;
Libby Lehman using thread play and Normal Cambell; two from her Purple Posies and TATW and Mary Lou McDonald from the Balitmore Album Society; this was a hand applique class.
I have to admit; I have enjoyed and learned so much from each class that I have taken

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.

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.
Beginning Quilting (eight classes over a 4 month period) This class was super! piecing, sampler blocks, 9 square blocks, rail blocks, setting triangles, bias making, paper piecing, flying geese, sandwich making, binding, appliques and stitch in the ditch quilting.
Free Motion Quilting
Hand Quilting
Double Wedding Ring wallhanging
Beginning Landscape quilting
Clothesline rope bowl
I will be taking a cute fall applique table runner class next month.
What fun! :D

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.
