Ricky Tims - Whoo Hoo!

I know several of you have seen Ricky Tims. This past weekend, my guild was the hosting guild for his Super Seminar, which included Alex Anderson, Libby Lehman & a talk from Bob Purcell of Superior Threads. I actually started planning this event 2 years ago. I knew who Ricky was & I had even seen him on Simply Quilts a few years ago. I never, in a million years could have anticipated how fantastic this three day event would be. He is truly a gifted teacher, speaker, pianist, story teller, etc. Over 500 people attended this event & throughout the weekend, people came up to me & thanked me for bringing him to the San Francisco Bay Area. If you ever have the opportunity to attend his seminar or hear him speak or take a class from him, I strongly encourage you to do so. I promise you, it will leave a lasting impression on you & you'll never regret it. He taught so many innovative techniques & Friday night, he played the piano for us & told stories. It was a fun filled three days, with lots of great information. He is such an inspiration - I can't speak highly enough of him. (Prior to attending this event, I was pretty much ho-hum about it. I've changed my tune 360 degrees!)

I don't know how anyone could attend one of his seminars and not come out wholly enthusiastic about tackling any project...big or small. Don't you feel like he's now one of your best friends? Not many people can lecture to a crowd with the warmth and humor that he does. I've not attended the whole seminar, but I've taken classes and gone to his story telling piano concert in Paducah a couple times. He's just wonderful.

I was thrilled to bits to see that he is coming to our largest quilt show in the summer - Festival of Quilts in Birmingham. I spoke to him when I went to Paducah in '04, but now I might be able to take a class. I will try to book the minute the lists are published. . In message , Pauline writes

Patti,

Don't hesitate to sign up for his class. You will feel so inspired. When the class is over, you'll feel like you have acquired a new forever friend - no kidding. You probably saw him in Paducah the same year I did - he was with his dad selling his hand dyed fabrics & his book. I cannot speak highly enough about him - no matter what type of quilting you enjoy - you will learn something new for him that you will apply to your projects forever.

Pauline: Yes, I remember when you and I talked about this event.That was right after I attended the Ricky Tims Seminar in Richmond, last summer. I am so glad this was a good event for you and your group. I urge anyone who has opportunity to attend one of Ricky's Seminars to do so. Pat on the Hill, I KNOW you will greatly enjoy the classes in Birmingham.

Howdy!

Glad you got to see... or "experience"... Ricky Tims, Pauline. My exposure was shorter but equally enjoyable.

Btw, he's from Texas, you know. LOL

Yes, that's right - it was the year of his famous Convergence book! I certainly won't hesitate, just as soon as the leaflets get sent out, I'll be filling in the form and the cheque! After what you've said here today, I can hardly wait even for that step! . In message , Pauline writes

For a time, we're going to have to keep Pauline away from the mathematical quilts. I attempt angles of 45° and 90° but Pauline, my dear, if you've turned 360°, I think you're right back where you began. Just thought I would warn you. Polly

Patti. I was able to take a class with Ricky in 04 over in the Hague at Quilt Expo. I loved every minute of it and I am hoping I will be able to make Birmingham this year and maybe even another" session" with him.

And after you take his class, you'll have to come to RCTQ & boast about him, so everyone will know his appeal is widespread!
