It was such an honor to be part of this class. Your knowledge, expertise, teaching style, warmth, sense of humor and patience made this class an amazing experience.
You coaxed us, cajoled us, encouraged us, inpired us. Thank you, thank you, Beth.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful life experience with us. We had a very interesting class and experience. Thank you also for your patience and sense of humor in teaching me the whitchstitch and in allowing me to go my way in designing my bag. Kay.
I enjoyed learning all the techniques, especially the stitiching. I remember doing embroidery as a child and it is a great meditation.
The class was excellent an I learned from evryone. I will use the stitching in my work. Thank you so much, Cindy.

Annemie, the keeper + teacher of ancient traditions, I thank you! It is a great service. I apreciate you kind and gentle but ever present eye to detail. It is a gift to require the tradition be done in the right way. It is a pleasure to meet + study under you. May I pass on the tradition as well as you. Patricia
You are a wonderful teacher: enthusiastic, patience, have a good humor and you are always ready to help and give a lot to your students!!
I do hope to meet you agian, mabybe in USA, mayby in the Netherlands or Hungary.
Köszönöm srčpen! Piroshka
I found your class so enjoyable, well worth reeding to travel by 5 plains, 3 busses and 2 taxi cabs to come to the Fling from New Zealand. We worked hard, I ached all ovr but it was such fun. Thank you so much for your cheerful positive teaching style. Pleas get in touch if you ever wish to NZ. Kristey
What a wonderfull class!! It was very rewarding to make my first felt and to learn within a tradition that combines felt wit so much needle work and cordage.
Felting in a way that traces its roots back many centuries and uses felt in such a practical and essential way is a wonderful introduction to the medium.
Annemie is an extremely generours teacher, sharing her knowledge very freely. She is equally patient, explaining things as often as necessary for each student.
The other students were als fun to work with and helpfull whenever problems arose. The combination of learning and fun made for thoroughly enjoyable class. Thank you! John
