“Beautiful setting. Instructor is great: kind and helpful, able to pull a rabbit out of his hat when he needs to do so. The barn quilts are beautifully created: basically you choose your colors and paint between the lines. I enjoy it very much. This was my second class and, while it seems to work for most of the other students, I felt like I was scrambling to finish at the end of the three-hour class. Highly recommended.”

-SCOTT KENNEY

“Great class surrounded by alpacas! Ken McNeill is a very patient teacher, adjusting colors and making recommendations as needed. Loved having the board primed and taped prior to class—made the process so much easier and more pleasant.”
