Regarding the calculus, though that's certainly not a class I would choose (a lecture with examples would be intriguing though), it feels very good to shake up things in the noggin from time to time.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04730298448632087144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-39743825042163558532012-08-29T05:05:21.535-07:002012-08-29T05:05:21.535-07:00Thank you NIna-Marie and Silvia for your comments!...Thank you NIna-Marie and Silvia for your comments!! interesting that you should remember Whip-ma_Whop-ma gate - my parents had a shop just 10 feet from there!! the alleyway in the picture however was Pump Court - it's actually about one or two streets nearer the Minster from Whip-ma_whop-ma!

When I don't learn something new or if I don't have a challenge to overcome I fall in the boredom in very little time.<br /><br />Your quilt is very intriguing, I love your colour choice. After you said it's a street in York it remembered me Whip-ma-whop-ma-gate. Was that street your inspiration or another?<br />Anyway very nice quilt! <br /><br />Wish you a nice day!Silvia Dell'Aerehttp://www.orkaloca.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-12207427444354388052012-08-28T19:10:41.173-07:002012-08-28T19:10:41.173-07:00ohhh yeah - I was never keen taking classes in a p...ohhh yeah - I was never keen taking classes in a particular style - only did it once and at the time I thought - OMG what was I thinking. BUT - so glad that LQS offer pattern classes in traditional quilting. Having a good solid foundation in the skills learned in those, has made my life so much easier when it comes to my more contemporary work. Not to mention once in a great while I like doing a pattern just 'cause its mindless and fun - a little sabbatical sort to speak!Nina Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14316034317827146338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-5377700202619049572012-08-28T12:07:51.282-07:002012-08-28T12:07:51.282-07:00thank you re the congratulations - I think I must ...thank you re the congratulations - I think I must have been crazy to write two at once! It sure got it out of my system though.<br />re how many classes are enough...<br />I think it really depends on the type of classes - the kind where you make a quilt like the teacher's sample - probably one is enough! The kind where you get support and feedback (as desired) on your own work - I think you could probably take forever. A lot of famous artists have done this.<br />Elizabeth Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13928615247903165719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-56224158321456497382012-08-28T09:42:21.789-07:002012-08-28T09:42:21.789-07:00Well first of all so glad the books are coming out...Well first of all so glad the books are coming out because I look back at my notes for both of those classes repeatedly. Got a smile from the fact that you all are taking calculus. With 4 semesters under my belt, I break out in hives just thinking about taking more! <br /><br />There has been recent talk about when are enough classes enough. Most felt that there did come a time to stop. For me, though, I like to take design classes studying - if only for a bit under a teacher just to get out of my own box. You never know where your next inspiration might come from - when a teacher will spark something in you that you didn't even know was there. I imagine that its the same for a good teacher. Inquisitive students bring forth parts of a teacher that weren't formally showing. That's why its great idea to come up with new classes to teach all kinds of students!Nina Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14316034317827146338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-90454034993390988322012-08-28T09:29:06.166-07:002012-08-28T09:29:06.166-07:00Congratulations on your two books!
