The Rewards of Teaching

It is so heartwarming to receive feedback such as this from your students:
“Sarah, Your class was really great and I learned a lot. You are an engaging teacher with down to earth instructions and entertaining anecdotes. Thank you so much for traveling all the way to Greenville! – Joanna”
and from Emily who organized the class, “I want to share that I’ve heard wonderful reviews of the technique along with praise for your teaching style from lots of the women. “Very informative”, “Encouraging”, “Addictive,” “Practical,” and “Approachable” are just a few of the accolades! I personally want to thank you for making the journey north and sharing with all of us.”
Comments like these are the greatest reward of teaching! Thank you Emily G., Joanna and all my students in Greenville! I’d love to return–and as long as it isn’t sports season for Eli I’ll bring chocolate chip cookies for all (one of the benefits of teaching in driving distance from home–more quilts and food!).

Learning how to blend thread colors. Instead of worrying about messing up a quilt top, work on a printed photo!

I need to make time to try this. I like the idea of practicing on a paper photo.
