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

  • “I have been dipping in and out of this course - thank you. Ellie it is such a wonderful resource to have!"

    ~ Libby Queale

  • "Ellie encourages me to find my voice and be confident in decisions about fabric, thread, colours, and techniques"
