David Owen Hastings, August 10, 2024: Inspired by Architecture

Amazing class, so many smart tips and tricks, plus time saving ideas. David’s presentation is very positive and thorough. Loved all of it!

I really loved this class, it in,cluded a lot of great tips that are easy to implement. I appreciate David giving us ways to do things that don’t involve buying a lot of new tools! He is really warm and positive and encouraging.

The class really got my creative juices flowing again. Thank you!

Lots of fun. David is one of the best to describe the process in a clear, understandable manner. All examples were easy to see. A great follow up from the the mini mod quilt class!

Loved stretching my brain today with David by pairing familiar techniques and ideas with new ones! And I agree, it is a great follow up to the mini mod quilt class.

So many unusual and helpful tips, all presented in a very clear style, with excellent demonstrations. A very fun day, with lots of opportunity to do much more improvisational quilts. David is , August 10a great instructor!

Thank you, David. I learned lots of new tricks for putting together art quilts. You are a very patient instructor. Great class! I’ve been quilting forever, but still learned LOTS of sewing tips, design inspiration, quilting techniques and more.

David packed a lot into this workshop.I enjoyed the process of design work to create your own piece. He has a nice balance of precision and ease of execution. Thanks David!

This was an excellent mix of techniques presented in a very clear manner. I appreciate the way that David explained one part of the process, then gave us time to practice it before he went onto the next step. I’m excited to try this process when I have more time. 

Candy Grisham, June 8, 2024: Intro to Modern Dresden

Great class, lots of wonderful information, ideas and suggestions.  Cindy is an excellent teacher.

So many possibilities for making amazing  modern Dresden blocks. Easy to cut and sew, fun playing with a variety of fabrics to see such different results. Great class. I’ll make more for sure.

Great class, started on time, clear instructions and repetition when needed.

I never thought I’d take a Dresden Plate class…until I saw the description on the EBHQ site and checked out Candy’s website and YouTube videos. Today was a 3-hour, densely packed class that provided not only the “how-to” aspect of creating  a Dresden using Candy’s (really straightforward!) method, but gave us 3 different edge treatments and what I call the important “what-if” component of classes that I’ll recommend. What if...I use a stripe? a pieced strip?-a mash up of methods? Class covered sewing tips, pressing tips, background alternatives, placement ideas, quilting alternatives. Lots of options and enough to make me curious to figure out more. Very happy. Thank you, EBHQ for offering this!

Mel Beach, September 9, 2023: Magnificent Mandalas

Lots of great tips and ideas with the design transfer, freezer paper circles and quadrants.

Awesome workshop. This technique is applicable in so many different artforms. I can't wait to give it a try.

Really enjoyed this class. It's expanded my thinking for free motion quilting.

Lots of good information. Mel actually made making a mandala easy. Very zen

Sarah Ruiz, Saturday, June 10,2023: Postcards

Best class ever. I did some research online to learn about quilted postcards but I got so much more information from the workshop. Sarah is an excellent teacher. Highly recommended.

Loved the class.  My first postcard experience.  Thanks Sarah.  Lots of great info.

Excellent workshop, so many great tips-thank you!

I really enjoyed this class. Sarah did a great job explaining the steps and gave some great tips that improved my postcard right away. This was my first virtual quilting class with EBHQ and I think the zoom experience with everyone went very smoothly.

Great class!  Sarah took us through the steps in a clear and concise manner.  I liked that she was not afraid to show us her first attempts.  Fun project and oh so EBHQ useful.

Thank you for teaching. Great class!  I wish I had had the stitch settings available before the class started so I could practice a bit.  Thanks for all the tips and tricks and possibilities!!

What a relaxing and fun class. Thanks Cheryl.

Thank you, Cheryl!

Love the ending knot. will use for embroidery, too.

Very helpful tips!  Thank you for sharing detailed aspects of applique

The basting is the difference in making this doable.

I feel much more comfortable now with doing this.  The basting, the folding back, the beginning and ending knots.  Thank you so much Cheryl!

Audrey is a wonderful teacher and has developed some amazing patterns!  Thank you so much for this class!!

Excellent class and such good results!  Audrey is a consummate teacher and designer of mathematical precision.  Thank you.

Great class with Audrey sharing many tips and techniques for dealing with sewing circles. Good communication and patience. I'm really happy with my finished piecing.

The templates for this quilt are excellent. The quilt goes together smoothly despite all the curves!

We students certainly benefit from Audrey’s experience with teaching this pattern so many times.  Beautiful design - fun to learn new techniques.  Thank you!

Erin Eggenburg, Saturday, Sept. 10, 2022: Visible Darning

Erin’s demos are really clear. Love the use of the overhead camera so we can see what she is doing with her hands, almost as if they were our own.

Wonderful instructor. patient ,clear and informative.  Have plenty of holes in socks from my kittens and look forward to fun creative repair alas. Thanks

I learned so many tips and tricks that corrected, enhanced and illuminated my visible mending efforts. Glad I got into the class and bought Erin's book!

All Star Virtual Sampler Platter, July 30 & 31, 2022

Thanks for sponsoring the event. It was fun and informative.

I really did not know what to expect from the 2-day Quilt Sampler virtual programs and thought that I would maybe watch a couple of them.  However, I was so enthused by the first ones that I watched all of them.  I loved the format, the moderators, and the presenters.  I enjoyed it so much.  Thanks for having these two days of fun.

I am really happy you are keeping online programs going.  I am a member up in Santa Rosa and value the prog

Lynn Koolish, Saturday, May 14, 2022: Inspired Stitches

Great slideshow of examples and inspirations. I enjoyed seeing everyone’s different take on this process. It’d be great to see photos of finished pieces.

Thank you Lynn, you presented an inspiring class about Kwandi, Kantha and Boro. I have long been interested in learning about these textile techniques. You have motivated me to get going, enthusiastically so. Great instruction,

Lynn's workshop was totally different than any workshop that I have ever taken, and I loved learning about the various types of quilts and objects made by the Siddi women in India and the women in Bangladesh and in Japan.  I don’t ordinarily like handwork, but this stitching "style” fascinated me.  Lynn is a great instructor—clear and knowledgeable and creative. 

Krista Hennebury, Saturday, April 9, 2022: Threadplay Pouch

Extra helpful tips for putting together the pouch, as well as useful tips on using different threads.

Excellent class!  Lots of great tips.  I have made lots of pouches but the tips were totally worth the class.  Thanks so much!

Erin Eggenberg, Saturday, March 12, 2022:  Visible Mending

Love the virtual mending it feels to me like meditation. I do yoga too.

Great workshop. I feel a workshop is successful if I pick up one or two tips I know I will use. Erin provided dozens of novel suggestions! Highly recommend her as a teacher!

Erin explains process well.  Also she has her zoom camera set up well so it is easy to see what she is doing.  It is like having a front row seat!  I too highly recommend her as a teacher.

Really like the MVP format. 3 hours was long enough to learn this technique without getting Zoom fatigue. Erin was engaging and clear. I feel empowered to go start mending my jeans.

Erin is so articulate. Her procedures are smart and she made them very clear as we practiced and listened. She answers new questions well too. Thank you again for a wonderful workshop.

I loved seeing the different types of mends Erin has done.  With so many useful tips for practical mending our clothes, I'm ready to get started!
