Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed my week with you.
Have put your many tips to use already. This week, I used the pliers and am able to load up my needle. What a difference! I can't believe what I've accomplished in a short period of time (definitely faster than my old way) and my stitches are smaller per inch. On my next quilt, I will try the beeswax on my threads and let you know how it turned out.

Thank you for a most enjoyable and busy day. We all learned a lot and are very proud of our flowers. I am looking forward to being in your class again soon.

I admired wholecloth quilts for many years, but was always intimidated on how to plan the layout, mark and finish the quilt. I had never attempted to mark the whole quilt outside of the frame and had no idea on how to start. It isn't in any book I've found.
Your were able to work with 14 women and encourage each of us to be creative with the materials tools you provided, in an environment where we all felt we had something to share.
Thank you for your advice on fabric, marking tools, stencil, quilting thread, needles and how to obtain some of the rare items. Your techniques for waxing quilt thread and no-knot quilting will apply to any hand-quilted project. Now, about those tiny stitches!
