Never Seen Any Famous Quilter Live and In Person

Jill's comment about being lucky to learn from so many well-known quilters in person made me a bit envious ... I have never seen any famous quilter "in the flesh". I've seen them on television (via Simply Quilts) and on my computer monitor (via The Quilt Show) but I think Jill was leaping to a conclusion when she thought I was referring to being influenced by famous quilters by seeing them in person. It's all been through purchasing and reading books. (Well, I did meet Ted Storm once but that was not a class, that was a social event.)

I've never had a class or attended a seminar from a famous teacher because I am not in a guild and I live in a rinky-dink small town. As a matter of fact I was totally ignorant of anyone named Sharyn Craig until Jill posted about her on the BB. Looked Sharyn up by googling the name and realized I am ignorant of her because her style is not the type of quilting I am interested in.
