What to do, what to do...

So, now I had a dilemma, I still hadn't taken Illustrator (which I definitely needed for fabric design) and I was living in Northern VA. I looked and looked for a class in DC, Baltimore, Philly anywhere close that taught Illustrator for Textile Design. No such luck. My new brother-in-law (excellent graphic designer) tried to teach me Illustrator in about 3 hours. But, clearly I needed the class. So, I signed up. Now I commute 5 hours each way once a week to attend my three hour class. Thanks to my family for helping out w/the kiddies while I'm gone!
