"I attended one of Jackie's classes pre-COVID and was hooked. I have been thinking about more art and landscape quilts ever since and plan to attend another class in theext year. I wanted to take some of my pictures and turn them into quilts. Jackie helped me realize that dream with classes and such wonderful fabric. She is a great teacher." Brenda F. of Colorado
