The videos are wonderful news, Joyce. Your gift for teaching is phenomenal. I am very tickled to be able to view (and if needed view more than once) and purchase instructional help with Quiltmagine!

This is wonderful!! I’ve taken 2 of your classes. Loved them, learned a lot! But by the time I needed the information I couldn’t remember it. Videos are PERFECT! Happy to pay for them, too.
