Hannah & Jo reviewed: Quilting weekend, Salisbury

"We had an absolutely fantastic weekend making quilts with Jacqueline. We are complete beginners and she helped us go from a pile of fabric to a very nearly completed quilt (& the knowledge & skills to finish the last little bit at home). The food & company were also fantastic & would definitely highly recommend. We’re already planning on coming back! Thanks Jacqueline - your expertise, kindness & culinary skills are second to none"

lydia baos reviewed: Quilting weekend, Salisbury

"Absolutely brilliant. Only 7 people, so a nice small group. The tutor was excellent, especially bearing in mind 5 of us were definitely novices! I did not feel pressured for time, nor lack of attention. The lunch was just about right - not too much so that we wanted to sleep in the afternoon, even if we had wanted to. Would recommend this one to anyone thinking of trying quilting. I have already told a few of my friends, and plan to attend more courses as and when I can."

Bee-spoke Quilts responded:

"Thank you for your kind feedback Lydia. I enjoy passing on the skills of this wonderful craft. I hope to see you again. Jacqueline "

Helen Morris reviewed: Quilting weekend, Salisbury

"I attended a weekend beginner's course recently and had such an enjoyable time. Jacqueline is an excellent teacher. Her demos were clear and easy to follow and well timed. She created a relaxed and supportive atmosphere and the group of people attending were lovely. I had a lot of fun over the weekend. The food Jacqueline provided was delicious (her meringues are to die for and her brownies were chocolatey slices of heaven). Whilst having a great time chatting and laughing as we sewed, I learnt a lot about quilting and picked up some great hints and tips. I'm looking forward to booking another session with Jacqueline."

Bee-spoke Quilts responded:

"Thank you for your kind feedback Helen. It was a pleasure to teach you. I always enjoy passing on the skills of this addictive craft! I hope to see you again. Jacqueline "

Sarah McAllister reviewed: Landscape quilts workshop

"I just loved this landscape quilting workshop. Learnt so much from Jacqueline who is so attentive and supportive throughout the day. She was so helpful with every element of the quilts we were creating. It was also very good to chat and swap notes with the other attendees. I’ll definitely be booking more of Jacqueline’s workshops - so relaxed and creative. Can’t wait for the next one."

"Thank you for your kind comments Sarah. It was a pleasure teaching you and seeing the landscape quilts develop during the day. I look forward to seeing you again for another workshop. I did warn you that quilting is addictive! "

Maggie Felton reviewed: Quilting weekend, Salisbury

"The two day quilting weekend was a perfect introduction for absolute beginners to the craft of machine quilt making. The five beginners and the two novice quilters formed a friendly and encouraging group whilst Jacqueline taught at a pace that was appropriate for everyone. Jacqueline is an excellent teacher giving helpful tips for us to use for future projects. My quilt needs finishing at home, and I have been taught the skills to confidently complete my work in my own time. Jacqueline provided refreshments and delicious lunches on both days and is a warm and welcoming teacher. I wholeheartedly recommend this weekend course as the perfect way to acquire a new skill. I will certainly be keen to return in the future to learn more techniques."

Bee-spoke Quilts responded:

"Thank you so much for your kind feedback. I am pleased that you enjoyed your weekend. I love to see how students projects develop during the workshop and I hope that you will find time to continue with this therapeutic craft."

Sarah reviewed: Quilting weekend, Salisbury

"As a hand sewer I felt some trepidation about going on a 2-day quilting course which was based around the sewing machine. However, I need not have worried. Jacqueline was a marvellous teacher who gave everyone, no matter their skill level, all the time they needed. The quilt I produced wasn't perfect but for my first proper attempt with a sewing machine I was very pleased with the result. I have learnt so much. The home made lunches and cakes were a joy and the venue a good space to work in. I'll be saving up for next time."

Bee-spoke Quilts responded:

"Thank you so much for your feedback. It was a pleasure teaching you; I enjoy passing on the skills of this heritage and addictive craft! Look forward to seeing you again in the future."

Allison Nicholls reviewed: Quilting weekend, Salisbury

"I booked on to the 2-day quilting course with only a few weeks experience of sewing so was a little nervous. However, Jacqueline was an excellent tutor and I learnt so much over the weekend and came away with a beautiful quilt. Jacqueline was so helpful, and demonstrated each step, which we could then carry out ourselves. The venue was ideal, in a lovely location and we were provided with a lovely home-cooked lunch each day, plus plenty of cake! I would thoroughly recommend Jacqueline’s quilting course and am looking to book on to another in the near future."

Bee-spoke Quilts responded:

"Thank you for your kind comments Jayne. It is a privilege to pass on the skills of this heritage craft to keen newcomers like yourself. Quilting is addictive!"
