"Thank you so much, Kira!!! All of your workshops have been so helpful. They are things that I haven't taken the time for before, and that can be somewhat dry to read about, but you made them all interesting and applicable to me. I'm looking forward to putting all the tidbits to use." - Alyson
"GREAT class!! Learned a lot and had a great time as well! Thanks so much!" - Patty
"I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your workshop on Saturday. I'm not always a fan of the Zoom action, but I thought it worked really well for your presentation." - Sarah
The instructor was fabulous! One of the best I have taken. Very thorough, professional, and personable. Kira really cared if the students learned. Perfectly paced course, really great! - Stitches at Home student
