Testimonials

“I wanted to thank you again for your great workshop yesterday. You are a natural teacher. I loved how you kept track of everyone’s progress. So many times people get lost along the way. It was great to be able to finish the project and (not) end up with another UFO.”

-Thousand Islands Quilters Guild Member

“I did enjoy your collaged journal class. Instructions during the class were clear and easy to follow. You made sure that everyone was ready for the next step before proceeding. It was much easier to see your demo than it often is in an in-person class.”

-Abbotsford, BC Quilt Guild Member

“I was pleasantly surprised at how easily the project was completed… I just love the end product. Your introduction to this new art form,(for me) was an eye-opener. I will use this method again.”

“Enjoyed it very much. The fact that I could see what you were working on close up was a big bonus for me. I don’t think I would have learned as much in a classroom setting . Calling on each participant to show there picture was awesome.”
