I also realize these are very busy popular teachers who have classes scheduled 1-3 years out so it might be difficult for TQS to include them in its busy schedule as well. It's really Alex and Ricky's call on all of this isn't it? I feel I've already got my money's worth by renewing my membership in Dec. 2011. Thanx TQS.

The reason I put this question out every couple of years is I now there are great quilters / teachers I have never seen or heard of.... I get to find new teachers all the time by putting out this question PLUS I KNOW THAT RICKY AND ALEX ... surf thru the forum and it will give them ideas.

JaneAnne OFFLINE Posts: 104	The lineup of shows thus far has been great! Several of the guests I would like to see again like Libby Lehman and Philippa Naylor. I think Terry White would be cool and I'm in the Diane Guadynski camp as well. Don't know if I spelled everyone's name right--please excuse

I agree that I like the surprise of seeing the different people who come up on the shows. And they are people I sometimes haven't even been aware of (sorry, bad grammar!). There is a local landscape quilter here....Natalie Sewell... I think she would be amazing to see on a show. And she is really nice too. I've taken a class with Diane Guydinski (sp?) and she is a great teacher also. It would definitely be fun to see her on a show. And I also agree with Liz Porter. I, unfortunately, have had enough of Marianne and Mary. Yes, and some fabric designers would be fun to see. I love Amy Butler and Valeri Wells.

I find all of the shows to be very inspirational, even ones that I think "oh this isn't my thing".

Sewdreamy OFFLINE Posts: 2009 Thank you received: 160	For that matter, it would be cool to catch up with Liz Porter, who reportedly retired and moved to Texas to be near her grandkid, but an interview with her would be nice. I often wonder how things are for her.

Anna,

I just took a wonderful set of Adobe Photoshop Elements classes, the second one being designing fabrics using it. It was so much fun if you are interested in designing some of your own fabrics. Thanks to Margo for bringing this to my attention in the first place. Here's the link

They don't have that class going now, but I suspect they are going to run it again soon.

I would love to see Leah Day

I have not heard of Deborah Kemball but I will be looking her up.

I am very interested in the modern on line quilt movement that is going on.... Here are some of the links I have been following .... I find their work graphically pleasing. My niece joined a modern quilt group with 30s something ladies. She ropes me into coming so I can teach techniques and then what they do with what I have shown them... is MARVELOUS

I would like to see Alex and Ricky do an investigation / report on the movement.... Wouldn't that be a hoot... to see them as old fashion reporters getting a scoop.... flights of fantasy THE ONLINE QUILT MOVEMENT needs to be investigated.
