Patchwork and Quilting Week with Dawn Cameron Dick

Thank you so much for the wonderful patchwork and quilting week. I so enjoyed it and really felt that I learnt so much from you, Dawn and the other quilters.

You are so kind and really made me feel welcome and the atmosphere was really homely, with delicious food! It was so encouraging to see the works of art that you have made too! I am going to finish off the little example that I started on the course and then decide on which ‘proper’ quilt to make next.

Thank you so much for a brilliant week, Cherry.  I learned so much from your skills and talent!  Mum was absolutely thrilled with the little chair – it was a great last day’s project

Hi Cherry

This is the first chance I have had to get back to you. I wanted to thank you for the fantastic course that you ran last week. I learnt so much and was so pleased with my creations by the end of the week.

Hello Cherry

Back home and to normality (if there is such a thing!).

Just to let you know how very much I enjoyed your upholstery course last week. The whole set-up is wonderful, together with the fabulous selection of refreshments – from morning coffee, scrumptious lunches and then topped with afternoon tea and cake. What more could a girl ask for?

Many thanks for a delightful experience, with all your knowledge and advice. I feel we shall meet again.

Kindest regards. Sheila.

Machine Quilting weekend Course Sept 2015

I would like on behalf of the group of five that visited The Willows last weekend
thank you very much for the lovely welcome we were given and the beautiful food that
you prepared for us,we all thoroughly enjoyed both days. It was suggested on the return journey that perhaps we could visit next year and undertake another course
with Dawn after all we will be experts by then!!

Patchwork May 2014

Hi Cherry
just to say had a great week with Dawn and yourself.
learned a lot in a very social atmosphere.
Thanks for lunches and yummy cakes!
Have booked for next summer so must keep practising as we learned lots over the week.

Just a quick email to thank you so much for the course last week. It was amazing and I absolutely loved it. It was so much much more than I expected and I feel like a learnt so much. I met such lovely people and I am very sad to be back in the real world instead of in the  ‘Lilac Barn sewing bubble’ that I was in last week. I am definitely addicted.
