Tonight's Bernina club at the LQS featured 20 minutes of a video with
Ricky Tims (the "convergence quilts" author).
We were left feeling totally out-classed. The segments we watched
included one of him doing improvisational free motion quilting. I was
in awe. The man is fearless. The man is also incredible. He puts the
pedal to the metal and just goes, using an Artista 200 with NO stitch
regulator and his stitches are absolutely perfectly even.
My eyes were as big as saucers. I've been working on my free motion
quilting for 2 years and I'm still uneven and a little jig-jaggy. Don't
get me wrong, I'm not horrible, but this man is in a whole 'nother
class. All by himself, methinks.
One of the shop ladies has met him and says he's just the nicest guy and
a talented pianist to boot.
*sigh* Life just isn't fair.
I ordered a copy of the video. It'll probably give me a galloping case
of quilting-envy and an inferiority complex the size of Japan, but I
figure my life can't get a whole lot worse at this point so why not?
The last quilting video I bought was so incredibly snore-worthy that
this was a refreshing change. It was enjoyable to watch (he's something
of a comedian as well). Anybody have the video that can clue me in to
what I'm letting myself in for?

A friend of mine took a class from him a few years ago at a Martha Pullen
seminar in North Carolina. She said she enjoyed the class with him. He
was the featured entertainment one night at a dinner. She said he can
really play the piano (she taught music for 30 years). She said he was very
funny and one of the nicest instructors she has had.

If you ever get the chance, take his class. It's well worth the time and
money!
We were lucky enough to have our class in a big room with a piano. When he
had us all sewing, he would sit down at the piano and play. Probably the
first and last time I'll ever take a class with first class entertainment
while I'm sewing.

Can't. Put me in a room with a bunch of women, and at least one of them
will be wearing perfume, or more likely a whole bunch of them. Then,
one or more of the following things will happen:
I will get dizzy.
I will get a migraine.
I will get sick.
I will collapse.
I will get loopy and start saying and doing really weird things.
And if one of them is wearing that stuff that I'm so allergic to that I
can't even smell it, I will suffer chemical burns to my airways.
I was really lucky last night that nobody was wearing perfume at Bernina
Club.

Too bad you don't live near me. Most of the shops will call all the
students and let them know to not wear perfume if someone signs up and
states it bothers them.
