"My first quilt was a huge hit. I started with Mandie 2 years ago and I have made a queen sized quilt for each of my 3 grown children, 2 for my grand daughter and several as gifts. "My First Waltz" kit is one of my favourites. It's quick, easy and turns out beautuful each and every time." - Debbie

"I tried learning to quilt online using videos - but some did not make sense or turn out right. I like Mandie's approach - I have learned so much from her" - Alison
" I had lots of fabric I had gathered from when I travelled sout - and had started a quilt that languised in a box - only 1/3 done. I joined one of Mandie's classes and I finished 3 quilts within 6 weeks. Now I have started another two.... - Bonnie
