Famous quilters
Eleanor Burns- two classes. One in Pad. Ky in 1998 at the big show. My first quilt show. Wow. I started quilting with her book on log cabins.
Second Mary Elen Hopkins, your own personal private quarter of an inch.
Eleanor Burns again-2 years ago here in Jax. Fla for the quilt retreat, she did a new way of trip around the world. It really isn't my style of quilting, but she is so funny, and such a good teacher. I gave the quilt to a friend who had gone to Russia the year before, and then was moving to Mich. shortly after I made the quilt. It seemed to fit.
Mary Lou Wideman-funky, wacky, I love her quilts. I think I am a Mary Lou type person. The Red hat quilt I did a few years ago was all her tenique.
Sara in Fla.
There are several local quilt teachers that are not famous, but great people and great teachers. I'm blessed to live in an area that values quilting. Both as art quits, and tradional quilting.

I Agree Sara, some of my very fav teachers are from local quilt shops. They often have taken classes themselves from the best & they pass it on to us.
But the opposite can be true too. I've had classes from local expert quilters that are not good teachers. Being an expert does't make one a teacher. There needs to be that just right mix. One of the local teachers that I enjoy so much told me that she previews everything in front of her DH asking his advice & making sure her students will understand everything. She is a real gem. Unfortunately she moved away & we all miss her terribly. Jill
