Taking a class with Nancy Eha

I had the time of my life last Saturday! I was fortunate enough to be able to take a class in a nearby city with one of my beading heroes, the incomparable beaded quilt artist, Nancy Eha. Not only is Nancy’s beadwork original, beautiful, charming, and totally unique, but so is she. I have rarely been in a classroom with such a gifted teacher. Nancy is patient, organized, articulate, and creative. Very often you’ll get a teacher with one or two of these qualities, but rarely ever all of them. If you ever have an opportunity to take one of her classes…DO NOT MISS OUT!!!

Here are some pictures from our class, and above is one of Nancy’s pieces that was displayed at the quilt show where the classes were being held.

The project that Nancy was teaching is available in her book, Bead Creative Art Quilts. Can you teach yourself using this book? Of course. Will you have anywhere near the fun or learn as much? No way! So do both: get the book and take a class!
