What did you do for your 60th birthday. My 35 I treated myself to a month in Italy and southern France. For my 40th my dad gave me money for a month in England, Scotland, and Paris.<br />50th I had a broken neck. 55th nothing now I am 3 years from 60. I live about 3 hours south of Alsimar on the coast so no need to go anywhere, but just the other day I heard the women my age all are going 2016 and where so excited. I think it is a waste of money, And the classes on Craftsy.com are so awesome and only $20. Why leave the house. I loved reading your story even if it is 10 years old. I bet you're fun and should have thrown a fit in the class spilled paint. The part about putting the drawing up her skirt is priceless. When I taught quilting I would also do imatations of all the teachers of the time.<br />Freddy Moran, Sally Collins, Jean Wells. Ricky Tims, Gwen Marston. I have met them all and taken classes form most back in the days. It is amazing how many of the new crop I know personally of course none will talk to me because I know there past BS. I think if I could write better I would right a tell all about most and this "Quilters are the Nicest People" BS.<br />Most would slit your throat with a rotary cutter, and if you're not fat with short hair and dress like a muppet and talk none stop about grandkids you're not in the click. What a bunch of whores. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10332252.post-1146673905494185622006-05-03T12:31:00.000-04:002006-05-03T12:31:00.000-04:00This reads all too much like my experience with an...This reads all too much like my experience with another big name quilter last summer. She was at the end of her US tour, just going through the motions and picking up a paycheck before heading home (pretty much all she talked about). I left before the lunch break of the first day and didn't regret it especially after I heard how several students pieces were ruined. After praising their hand-dyed fabrics over and over on day one, her only remark after her dye pens ran all over their fabric was "sometimes that happens."<BR/><BR/>Teachers can burn out and its important for them to recognize that fact and stop going through the motions when their hearts are no longer in it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
