I’ll take you by the hand and show you how I create
“I have been quilting for almost twenty years and I never fail to learn something new and valuable whenever I watch Rachel at work. She is a master craftswoman and teacher making the difficult look easy and the rest seem very doable. Rachel is a master designer. Her sense of color and design are well developed and she freely shares her techniques and knowledge. She is an inspiration to anyone aspiring to be an art quilter. ”

“I've been sewing since high school, making clothes and simple home decor items (e.g., curtains, pillows, etc.). Rachel gave me the courage and taught me the skills I needed to begin piecing quilts and wall hangings. I recently completed my first free form quilt and began using the long arm to quilt the finished pieces. Rachel's sewing tricks and tips make it easier to plan and finish my pieces. I appreciate her patience and knowledge as an instructor as well as her sewing and quilting skills. ”

Many people spend upwards from $1300 traveling to workshops, spending lots of dollars on room and board. I know I have.

I'm worried that I won't like the instructional style of the class.
The classes are step by step and designed to be watched by beginners as well as intermediate quilters. If you still do not like the instructional style, we do have a 30 day money back guarantee.
What if I don't have a cutting machine?
You will be able to cut out the trees in the Free 3 Part Video Series Workshop with an X-Acto knife. In the Advanced Landscape, the iris can also be cut out with an X-Acto knife. The willow leaves and caladium leaves are too difficult to cut out without a cutting machine.
Either find a friend who has one (these are used primarily by those who do scrapbooking) or check the sales at your local stores. That is what I did and I found it to be very much worth the investment. I use it constantly.
