      This week, I finally finished my Juliana! Thank you so much for a great class. It was so much easier
      to learn in class than in the GCC that I did for Isabella. I actually think that there are very few mistakes on this project!! Now I wish I had signed up for another class with you. Never mind, I’m sure that you will be teaching somewhere before…[Read more]

        Not quite sure if I am doing things right, ha ha. It is hard to get the hang of. Good to hear from you.

          Kathleen Weston replied 8 years, 1 month ago

          I’m trying to figure it out, also. No clue if I’m doing it correctly or not. Are you working on new projects?

            Barbara M Kershaw replied 8 years, 1 month ago

            I have decided to do something for myself for a change. I am doing the “Ann Bowers” Sampler. An 18th century American reproduction. I love samplers and don’ get to do them often. I am thourghly enjoying it while listening to the Outlander as audio book.

              How nice for you to do something just for fun. I hope you enjoy working on it. I need to find some “get up and go” to get working on my project, Kay Stanis’ “Dancing Butterflies”. Kathleen

      No worries Armida! I’ve had a million whoops moments here myself. We will figure it out!
