I've structured this class in a similar way to Quilt Hive classes, so if you love this class there's more of this in my membership.

I've been teaching sewing, patchwork & quilting for over 10 years and I'm excited to help you. I've taught in fabric shops, at Quilt Shows (including the Festival of Quilts), and even on a transatlantic cruise!
I have absolutely LOVED helping every single one of my students develop and improve their sewing, patchwork & quilting skills. It's truly rewarding to see students progress and have 'lightbulb moments'.
I love teaching, breaking topics down into bite-sized chunks and making it achievable for all! Since moving most of my teaching online it's been eye opening to realise that most people learn better this way: working at their own pace and having more time to practise; but still getting time with the teacher to ask questions.
