"Sam is a fiber artist and quilt pattern designer. She started sewing when she was 7 and hasn't stopped since! Taking one of Sam's video classes is like hanging out with her in her home studio - it's relaxed, candid (including seam ripper moments) and full of gentle encouragement. Sam believes everyone has innate artistic talent and loves to help people find theirs. Not only are Sam’s patterns clearly written and easy to follow, but she also teaches you clever construction techniques for a really slick finish. One of the best lessons I’ve learned from Sam is how to pause and think differently to make a pattern work for you before you get frustrated and pull your hair out. Sam's patterns are so clear you can even follow them after you've had a couple of glasses of wine! Sam encourages creativity while teaching skills. I left her class with confidence, a beautiful quilt, and some new tips and tricks for my next quilt! This was a great online class - she's not kidding when she says she keeps no secrets! I had every question answered along the way."
