"Kelley's loving, warm and vibrant personality shines through her teaching, even though she was thousands of miles away. I now have a repertoire of stitches that I love. I also had a few catastrophes along the way wth my project, but Kelley was there to virtually hold my hand and walk me through the fixes. Thank-you Kelley for teaching me that I can tap into my own creativity and create my own designs in stitch."
