Loved this class and Wendy. Had wanted to make an art quilt entitled "Fruits of the Bible" and thanks to all I learned from this
class was able to finish it. Now I am going to listen to Wendy
all over again and make some more art quilts. I would highly recommend this class. Wendy is a great teacher!

Excellent A FUN CLASS   May 15, 2012

I must say I really enjoyed Wendy's class as it was kind of whimsical and a fun kind of quilting and sewing. Some of the projects were not very time consuming, and rather simple so I was able to do a project or two with my 14 year old granddaughter.. She and I really enjoyed some of the free motion quilting, and also the yarn binding, which was quick and easy. I was happy to learn how to do a regular binding with no handsitching, and it was also great to learn how to make the corner ...

I took this class while on vacation in a sleeply fishing town in Central America. Every morning while my husband was deep sea fishing I would sit under a palm tree and listen to Wendy. Then I would go to the beach and draw ideas for projects. I came home with lots of drawings for new art quilts. Now two of them are going into state shows this summer. Wendy, I thoroughly enjoyed the class. You challenged me to play and gave me the skills to turn the play into art quilts.
