    What a great Mother's Day present this was! Julie is a terrific teacher who was very thorough, offering many points of interest throughout and providing a very relaxed, enjoyable feeling throughout the session. I didn't feel pressured and was provided with assistance whenever I needed it. The environment was beautiful and further enhanced the experience.

    Julie Walters
    I've been a crocheter for 50+ years. The majority of my work is blankets and I have discovered the mosaic crochet technique, which is my main form of crochet.
    I have also made many doilies, and love the intricate, almost 3-D pieces. I love sharing the art of crochet with others, and can demonstrate basic stitches for both right and left handed learners.
