What Others Are Saying...
Really enjoyed the course. The instructions are given out very clearly & the demonstrations very helpful. I think I will be popping back to watch the videos when I need some further instructions as I reach the different stages on my quilt. Many thanks.
It was really great and took me from an absolute 0% knowledge of quilting to actually being able to make a quilt! Thank you so much for making these classes - I really enjoyed it!!
Loved it quilting was a mystery to me but always wanted to try after doing your course it makes sense .
