Busy Quilting Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Claudia, If you can teach Karen and Merette to do such beautiful feathers and stitching - do you have a DVD to teach some of us that are even further over the seas and can not get to the US or Europe for classes with you. OR better still AUSTRALIA is a really nice place to visit and have classes. We are friendly quilters and always willing to give something a go. Why can't some of the lomgarm tutors "holiday" in the Southern Hemisphere occassionally?

Kerstin Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Hi Claudia, welcome back from vacation. If Theo van der Heijden is carrying your suitcase I will carry your diving equipment and follow you to Australia. Isn't there anybody in this forum who's got a travel agency? A trip to Australia, a trip to Birmingham, a trip to Ste. Marie aux Mines etc. and of course a trip to Kansas!!!

smorris Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Well girls, Claudia said she'd love to come to Australia, how many would be interested, let me know. I'm very happy to host you Claudia as you already know. Sue in Australia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheri Butler Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Sue, Have you thought of contacting Tracey @ Constantine Quilts? I dont know where she's located from you, but it was a thought. She could also advertise in her web newsletter she sends out monthly. Maybe post something up in her shop? Just trying to help you out. I for one, am DEFINITLY taking Claudia's feather's class next year at MQS. Seems like she's always booked up, so this year, i'm filling it out a.s.a.p. to reserve my spot!

smorris Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Hi Sheri and everyone I'd love to take Claudia's feather class too. Steve and I would be very pleased to host her here as we have done with other quilters previously. Prior to March 2000, there hadn't been an international longarm quilter visit Australia to teach longarm quilting but we invited Marilyn Badger and Mark Caraher in March 2000 and Marilyn taught 30 longarm quilters over 3 days in our home. This was so well received that Marilyn returned a year later to teach advanced classes for some of the first students and teach beginner classes to newbies. We have also hosted Stan and Dee Dee Townzen for Compuquilter owners. Since Marilyn's visits, other longarm quilters have visited Australia to teach us and give wonderful trunk shows. Since 2000 we have had visits from Dawn Cavanagh, Linda Taylor, Deb Geissler, Kathy Olsen, Marcia Stevens, 2 other which will be nameless because I can't remember who they are right now:o, and in May this year Sharon Schamber visited Sth Australia and Queensland. This works out at one international quilter per year. We are getting much more opportunity now to learn from prize winning quilters without having to leave Australia which is great. Last year Sue Patten and I were talking about the possibility of her bringing the Wild Women to Australia and they would love to visit, but their schedules are very busy so anything planned now would not be possible for another year. Now wouldn't it be great if the Wild Women and Claudia could do back to back classes, they all work awesomely together. If you are an Aussie or New Zealand quilter (any brand machine) and would like us to host an international tutor, send us a message to say who you would like to visit and we'll see if it would be possible. If there is enough demand we could look at holding classes in various states. Best wishes Sue in australia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Wren Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Me! Me! Me! Sue I would love you to host Claudia & I am sure Satu would be up for classes as well. She is at the Quilt show for the next few days so I will add her in too. I bet Maree would travel over from Tassie...we could round up lots of girls! I bet Lyn, Karen & Susanne would make the trip south too! Do I sound excited? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also had 2 U2Us since I posted less than 5 mins ago. If you are interested, please send me a private email smorris@comcen.com.au letting me know who you would like to see over here, and your availablity and we'll go from there.

smorris Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Hi Claudia March and April and September, October and early November are great for the weather. Lets get together off the list and see when you are available - I see my husband getting his barbeque tools out ready for your visit - he loves to cater for us all. Maybe see you down here soon then Susanne. Anyone interested in classes, drop me an email with your preferred dates and we'll see if we can get this happening.

ClaudiaPfeil Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 March , April and September are my busiest months here in Europe (show season)........so it might be november/ december - but this could be a very short time to organize ! How did your husband know that I loooooove barbeque???:cool: Claudia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seakitten Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 I could be tempted to go to Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbm Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Ooooh, longarm quilting AND diving!! How about that? Claudia, if you teach in Australia, I'll go and dive with you, too! I'd have to study up on the Australian fishies (I'm current on most of the Florida and Caribbean swimmers), but I could do that for you....... Think about it, quilting some days and diving others, with your own personal Fish ID Specialist;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
