Dianne Hire - wonderful teacher!
Last weekend, our guild, Desert Quilters, had 2 days of terrific classwork led by Dianne Hire. She is just what a teacher should be - leading us to create work in our own style, but clearly demonstrating techniques she has developed to go there. She is one of those teachers who inspires her students to think about where she wants to go and how to get there. She notices everyone in the class - who needs a little more help, who needs encouragement and praise, who is doing what. And when we would get too off the track, her “Get to work!” got us back in the groove. I couldn’t believe how much we accomplished in two days. She had a variety of examples of her own work (delicious) and her clearly presented directions enabled us to learn quickly and to work satisfactorily. She was witty, good-humored, well-prepared and we would love to do it again.
