HERE IS AN EXPLANATION OF RICKY'S LECTURE/DEMO APPROACH TO TEACHING
Using the same teaching technique that he uses in his 2-1/2 day super seminars, Ricky will bring you more quilting tips, techniques, secrets and methods than he can teach you in a whole day of a traditional sewing class in his exciting and information-packed 90 minute lecture/demonstrations. Ricky developed this unique style of teaching as a result of always having a waiting list for his sit and sew workshops and then having to stand around and watch his students sew for a good portion of the time, knowing in his heart that there was so much more he could teach and show them if he could develop a method of teaching that would reach more students in more ways. No more crowding around a sewing machine with 25 other students, peering over shoulders to see what the instructor is doing, no supply lists or sewing machines, and no more worrying about keeping up with the class. All you need is a pen and paper. Ricky lectures live and projects how-to demonstrations up on a large screen so that everyone can see from the comfort of their seats. Thousands of students have experienced his lecture/demos and have given Ricky rave reviews about this new teaching style. One skeptic said, "Wow! I learned so much and hands-on was not necessary." Come and see for yourself - we doubt you'll be disappointed!
CAVEMAN QUILTING MEETS CONVERGENCE QUILT – (1.5 HOURS)
Ricky combines two of his most popular methods. Caveman Quilting introduces you to patchwork that is free from measuring, math, quarter-inch seams and precision piecing and Ricky’s ever-popular and Convergence Quilts, an addictive method for creating simple, easy, and fun quilts. Finally, take the plunge and learn how to combine both techniques to create your own smashing Caveman meets Convergence quilt.
RHAPSODY QUILTS – (1.5 HOURS)
In this information packed lecture/demo, learn the design process Ricky used in his award winning Bohemian Rhapsody and Fire Dragon Rhapsody quilts to create your own individual and unique quilt. Ricky will show you how to design an original Rhapsody medallion while demonstrating some of the techniques that have made his Rhapsody quilts so memorable. You will leave with the confidence and knowledge to begin your own “Rhapsody” but the information on design and techniques will be indispensable for other quilting projects too.
JUST A QUILTING FOOL: MACHINE QUILTING INFORMATION OVERLOAD – (1.5 HOURS
Join Ricky as he shares many of his secrets and methods for fine heirloom quality machine quilting on a domestic sewing machine. He'll teach the techniques used in his award-winning quilts in a way that leaves you amazed at how simple they are. His entertaining and informational program will give you the confidence you need to machine quilt like the pros. Filled with tips and tricks, even hand quilters will find the information to be beneficial. Also included are instructions on quilting design and innovative marking techniques for both improvisational and pre-planned quilting.
