I sure enjoyed the two days in class with you. I learned a lot and I'll remember it longer because you made it fun. I started teaching quilting in the early 80's. In the last 26 years I've visited more than 400 groups in 45 states and seven foreign countries. Here's a pretty complete list of where I've had the privilege of presenting lectures and workshops—the very most fun job there is.
