EXPLAINS NOT JUST HOW BUT WHY

Great course with Laura! Each step is explained - not just how to do, but why - what might go wrong and how to prevent it. Love that she encourages students to make the design their own. (Review of Little Bird & Daisies)

REPEAT STUDENT

I have had the privilege of taking numerous classes with Laura over the past 15 years in both a guild setting and at the International Quilt Festival. I never tire of being in her classes because I always learn something new from her. Most important, she is a fabulous teacher who gives you 200%.

Her kits and instructions are complete. She is happy to help each student individually. The real joy in her class is that you can just compose, embroider or build your project at your own pace and she is so very happy to help and assist as needed.

She loves to let you 'try your wings' and if you are very, very lucky, you get a few songs to make it all worthwhile. Try her, you'll love her!
