Here is Ricky in action, I was lucky to have a front row seat.

He projected lots of step by step photos on a big screen behind him but we were also given a syllabus with notes and step by step photos.

Ricky was very generous and signed our books and put up with us taking his photo. Here I am with Ricky.

I also got a photo with my friend Jill in it as well.

Jill is doing an online photography course with Ricky and has recently been on a photography tour to Ireland with him, so she knows him quite well. Ricky Tims is a busy man.
Ricky had a few of his quilts hanging around the room and he said we can photograph them and touch them as much as we like.

Because Jill is a keen photographer we went down to the beautiful Geelong foreshore to take some photos. Geelong is well known for its many bollards so I took photos of a couple of them.

Jill took a photo of me that makes it look as if I am in one of those water globes.

| Greetings from Geelong |
I was only using my phone to take photos but I got some nice reflections under the pier.

The water was a beautiful colour and the boats looked magnificent shining in the sun.

It started to get dark and on the way back to the car I got a lovely photo of the other side of the pier.

The Ricky Tims Master Class was hosted by the Geelong Patchworker's Guild and they did a marvellous job. The venue was fantastic and morning and afternoon tea and lunch was provided and of an excellent quality. We also received a goody bag on arrival and were made to feel very welcome.
Ricky encouraged us to get on with our quilting and enjoy every second of it and pursue our goals, I felt very inspired after the class.
Bye for now,
Linda

How lucky for you to take this class from Ricky! In 2009, my friend and I took his Super Quilt Seminar...2 or 3 day...can't remember but it was really interesting. One of the additional 'best parts' was Ricky playing piano and flutes for us! Just fab...I bought one of his CD's which I love!! Continued success with your photography!!!! Love the water/reflection pic you took!
Love your photos, and what a great day you had with Ricky. He came to SA many years ago now, I have lots of his books and DVD's, and attended a night show in Paducah, where he told his quilting story of "joining the dots" in his life, which was so inspiring, and he also played the piano and his flute.
A 3 day class would have been wonderful, Robbie, he didn't bring any of his musical instruments down to Australia unfortunately

Hi Jude,
I agree that Ricky is very encouraging and obviously enjoys teaching. I have his books and dvd's as well and I didn't think to bring them and get them signed!
How wonderful Linda....Ricky is such a lovely guy. Your photos are beautiful even from your phone - I too love photography! Do say Hi to lovely Jill for me next time you see her xxx
Thank you Michele, you are so kind. I will pass on your hello to Jill. I would love to be better at photography but there are only so many hours in a day!
