Love notes from students

  • "You inspired me to use my bits and pieces to create a little plastic bag saver. I embroidered little 2-3 inch pieces overtime and decided to stitch them over cut quilt fabric squares, adding a touch of scrap lace to embellish…and voilà!"

    ~ Gayle

    ~ Libby Queale
