GREAT CLASS!

I felt welcome right from the beginning of class. It was a challenge in a warm environment. I recommend "Boot Camp" to any quilter who is ready to branch out.

This was an amazing class - chocked full of inspiration and design. Pushes you out of your comfort zone.

Great Learning Experience with fantastic ladies. Thanks so much!

Bootcamp was a true success. I definitely moved out of my comfort zone. Cathy is a great motivator.

Free Motion Bootcamp - I loved this class. Feeling confident now, going forward to practicing new skills and upping my game with Free Motion.

Bootcamp was very well done. Great teacher and beautiful person (Cathy). She was very funny and knowledgeable. I learned a lot and will be back.

Free Motion Boot Camp

Fun filled day to build your confidence in Free Motion Quilting. Cathy is a well of knowledge in Free Motion Design. Small Class provides better learning opportunity.

Great Class! I learned a lot. I now ready to try to do more free motion quilting!

LONG ARM CERTIFICATION ...In a three hour session I learned and used free motion quilting on a real longarm machine! This is something I have wanted to do my whole life. I love to sew, create new & exciting projects, but up until now the process to finish off has been elusive at best. I have turned a corner, thanks to Cathy & Shannon. Thank you both for sharing a very special day with me.

LONG ARM CERTIFICATION

Shannon was patient and knowlegable. She provided great feedback and shared her favourites designs and we tried them all out! I gained a lot of self confidence that I can continue with long arm quilting. I have signed up for the Free Motion Bootcamp next.

Thank you Shannon!
