What others are saying!
Lisa’s first zoom training was even better than I imagined it would be. And I was very eager for the class. Even with occasional techno hiccups, I got a lot of personal attention with my design, and it seemed like everyone else did too. We got so much accomplished, and still it went by so fast, I was sad when it was over.
Maisie, Virginia
Lisa provided direct instruction with this online class. I was able to benefit from her expertise and implement her techniques in my quilt. She also gives her students the freedom to create their own individual designs. Lisa afforded me the opportunity to challenge myself and finally work up the courage to complete an intense design. Thank you so much and I look forward to accessing her expertise in the future.
Jennifer
Besides design, Lisa covers....quilting with rulers...quilting whole cloth quilts,....quilting mid-custom quilts...and quilting beautiful feathers(her specialty)! You will get individual attention from Lisa and she will answer all your questions! I cannot recommend this class enough. It will make you a better designer and a better quilter!
Marty from Texas
Stop thinking about whether you should take this class or not… if you love to quilt and want to improve your techniques, or if you aren’t comfortable quilting and want to learn more this class will help, tremendously!!
As the Nike tag line used to say, “Just do it!”
