Such great encouragement for experimentation and letting us know it’s okay to not be perfect…great environment to take a chance and learn new ideas.

I am enjoying this class so much! I'm astonished that at my age (78) I have had my consciousness raised about patterns for the first time. Now I see them everywhere. Tissue boxes, pillows, bedspreads, curtains...I'm always thinking "Oh that's like a variation of the basketweave, or houndstooth." Thank you LIsa for opening my eyes!
