Everyone coming to a La Veta Quilt Retreat is encouraged to come with a hope - a dream - a vision for what they want to accomplish. No two people will do the same thing during the week. It can be a scary thing. Frank came with a goal to creat a Rhapsody. The skeleton came fairly easy, then he had the concept to create designs that represented the four elements - earth, air, fire, water. There was a point where he struggled with his applique designs, but we worked through it and I think you'll agree - he succeeded. He has one quarter of the quilt designed and cut out, which is all I need to create a photo rendition of what the finished quilt will look like.
Here are student comments relating to your questions.
Prior to coming - "Have an idea of what you want to learn. Do not be afraid of doing something "difficult" because Ricky breaks the week into pieces that are extremely doable." - Frank.
Regarding Ricky's coaxing - "He makes you think and reach beyond your boundaries. I came to learn techniques outside of my comfort zone and I did." - Pat
