Life Changing!
I haven't even started the second project but already know this is the best thing that could have happened to my creative world. I have been longing to create something more then just a traditional quilt, and had already started collecting paints and things months before I knew this class existed. I had no idea where to begin and this class has given me a launching point. Annette explains the purpose behind each step so clearly and the techniques will carry with me in my future projects! ...

Very enjoyable class.....Learned a ton!!
I'm giving 5 stars to Annette for all the extra time she took making sure we understand about mixing paints and shading. I learned a lot of great information and can't wait to try it. I have painted quilts before, but wish that I would have seen this class a long time ago, my quilts would have been much more realistic. I really enjoyed the bonus class and Annette's casual and fun spirit. One of the most exciting parts for me was to learn how to mix the colors in such detail. GREAT ...

I'm Watching it Again!
This is a very informative class. In the beginning I thought it was a bit too slow, (but I am very impatient...,) as the show goes on I found out this is info you need to know! Annette is a very good teacher.
I will be watching several times as this video is full of tips and important facts that can be used in other crafts also. Thank you!
Outstanding!
If you have any interest in painting pictorial quilts, this is the class to take. Annette is an excellent instructor, going into fine detail about every step of the process. It's a joy just to watch the class videos, let alone put what you learn into practice. Be aware the class calls for Setacolor paints, which aren't available everywhere, and Folk Art Floating Medium, also sometimes difficult to find. I had trouble finding the brushes, but not the paints and medium both of which I got on ...

The Best Class Yet!
I totally enjoyed this class. I think Annette is so pleasent and natural and at the same time, very instructional. I like that the class is very detailed. You always have the option of moving forward if it is too slow for you, but I really liked the pace. It was important for me to see how she applied the paint in all circumstances and what her thoughts were. I really liked it alot and feel it is a great value. The only thing I would have liked included would be a color photo of the ...
