Ladies and Gentlemen, speak of Laura at the local guild for a possible meeting/class/workshop. You will not be disappointed. She has won several awards from Keepsake Quilting not only for her FMQ but also her artistic designs atleast four times. (She was an art major in college and it shows in her work.) Go to her websight and see all the classes/workshops she has to offer. She is talented and funny as she teaches/illustrates not only for longarmers, but sit-down and domestic machines as well. I have taken several of her classes at our LQS and I can also call her a friend.
