I enjoy Kathy’s method of teaching. It’s relaxed and free form. I can progress at my pace. Kathy is always happy and open to suggestions. She had a terrific solution to a fabric problem. I didn’t need to recreate a section or buy more fabric! I wish the workshop was four days. I felt that I was just understanding the methods of construction plus making progress when it was over! I am looking forward to her return to Shipshewana.

I would strongly recommend classes with Kathy!
Here we are in a time when we can’t meet in person and there is a learning curve for everyone, but Kathy took it on and was able to succeed. I know she will see everyone through in completing their various projects. Kathy obviously is very comfortable teaching any class. Suggestions for Zoom would be to pre-record just the instructions for the day, and then take questions and open up for sewing, where appropriate. I really appreciate the instructions in the separate videos that were given after the fact. I would pay for classes that aren’t interactive, but are just the recordings. I’m sure I will take part in future classes.

I took a four class series for the Dinner Plate Dahlia. The picture shows my homework from classes 1 and 2. Class 3 is next week and I am ready!
Kathy is a great instructor with lots of patience, I really appreciate her availability in between classes for help! (We “faced-timed” to troubleshoot when I got stuck!) She always had a fix when I messed up.
Thanks for a great class Kathy!

I had never tackled anything like the Dinner Plate Dahlia before. I was really skeptical whether I could do it, but Kathy made it do-able. I really appreciate not only Kathy’s help and instruction, but especially her support! Great class,

I had never tackled anything like the Dinner Plate Dahlia before. I was really skeptical whether I could do it, but Kathy made it do-able. I really appreciate not only Kathy’s help and instruction, but especially her support! Great class, even better instructor! I met some really great classmates as well!
