Ricky Tims Super Seminar

Three days of listening about quilting. No actual sewing?  I couldn't imagine how anyone could keep my interest for that long?  But he did!!

Ricky Tims is amazingly talented. He began his career as a professional pianist, composer and conductor. He began quilting in 1991 and after only a few years was winning USA national quilt shows. He then retired from music and began quilting full time. His quilts are stunning. You can see his musical talent come through!

I learned a bunch of new techniques from the seminar. Ricky encouraged using your own ideas and creativity. Just what I like!  But he also taught sewing tricks that will help keep the process manageable. 

Aside from being a very knowledgeable quilter, he is also an amazing storyteller. He could actually be a stand up comic.  Then after a full day of lectures, he gave us a musical performance. Awesome!!
