Katy reviewed: Making 'Memories Baskets'

"I would highly recommend this course. We had a great day with Nancy, she is a very patient tutor and we had an excellent day in her home learning two different ways to make memory baskets. What could be nicer than spending a day with fabric you love, creating something to keep forever. Thanks so much Nancy for a lovely experience."

"Just spent a really enjoyable and relaxing morning with Nancy learning how to make felt. I’m very pleased with the felt flowers I managed to produce through her patience guidance and instruction."

"It was lovely meeting you and Caroline - certainly no shortage of conversation! I loved your flowers - how strange we were all working with similar colours during the class! Let me know if you decide on making coiled baskets sometime next year - discount for former students!"

Sue reviewed: Fun with Felt Flowers

"I joined my friend on a felt poppy making workshop with Nancy. I didn't realise how much work goes into wet felting but Nancy gave clear, simple to follow instructions and before long, I had a lovely poppy of my own to take home. Nancy also gave us some ideas on what else we could make using what we'd learnt. Thank you Nancy, I really enjoyed this course :)"

flights-of-fantasy responded:

"So pleased you enjoyed it Sue - you were both quick learners, I must say. Lots of fun meeting you and chatting!"

Lucinda Yelland reviewed: Making 'Memories Baskets'

"This was a lovely workshop. Nancy was extremely flexible when I needed to change the date because of a storm. Nancy was an excellent teacher, demonstrating, encouraging and helpful throughout the day. I had a great time and came away with a small handstitched dish, and a bigger machine-stitched bowl."

flights-of-fantasy responded:

"You were great company Lucinda - glad we were able to re-organise so easily! Enjoy your basket-making activities....."

Sara-Louise Meyer reviewed: Fun with Felt Flowers

"What a wonderful day felting, Nancy was an excellent tutor with incredible patience for the complete beginner. Her instructions were clear and you never felt out of your depth. She made it fun and enjoyable and the time passed all too quickly. Tea and coffee were provided as well as biscuits, she created the atmosphere of crafting with a friend, I cannot recommend this workshop highly enough. I will definitely be booking one of her others."

flights-of-fantasy responded:

"Thank you - to everyone who has responded, as I have only just discovered I can reply. Sara-Louise you and Karen were a joy to teach, and so cheering after a year when teaching face to face was off the cards!"

Karen Teagle reviewed: Fun with Felt Flowers

"OMG can’t recommend this course enough. A fantastic day of felting with a teacher who could communicate well and had the patience of a saint. Nancy was very welcoming, friendly and made you feel at home straight away. Tea and coffee was provided with a yummy biscuit and easy parking. The course was so much fun it was over to soon. And to End the day the local pub for lunch couldn’t have been better. Food was delicious and reasonable priced. We are definitely going to book another course later in the year."

flights-of-fantasy responded:

"Thoroughly enjoyed today's workshop! You two were a breath of fresh air after a barren year! Look forward to seeing you again for basket-making, perhaps!"

Hayley reviewed: Fun with Felt Flowers

"A very enjoyable and informative introduction to felting. I really enjoyed the time is spent with Nancy, not only because I learnt a new skill but she is a brilliant teacher. I took this class to then teach my students in secondary school and Nancy was great a giving me insights to teaching this to others. She clearly has experience of sharing her knowledge of felting to a variety of age groups and abilities. I will be doing more felting in the future and if I've any more questions I know Nancy will be the lady to ask."

flights-of-fantasy responded:

"I'm looking forward to seeing what your students produce!"
