The Workshop Queen

     I was asked last week who I had studied with. I couldn't rattle the list off even though I know I have taken lots of classes.  Fortunately, I have lived in many different places over the twenty  some years I have been sewing. I didn't always join a guild but when I did, I wasn't disappointed. It is a good way to take a one or two day workshop to see if it is a technique or method you would like to add to your basic skill set.

 I have had some great teachers and some not so great teachers. But I did take a few minutes to answer that question for myself.

 I know there are some I have forgotten. Now that I have written it all down-wow that's alot of classes! And  wide range of teachers and styles. I don't have a burning desire to take another right now. Maybe next spring. Just want to work. I just wanted to have a better answer the next time someone asks me who I have studied with!

Do you have a favorite teacher or class you have taken? Why did you like it? Or is there someone you haven't taken a class from but has inspired you?

Happy Sewing, my friends!
