Amazing class designed to give you confidence to quilt on your DSM or a long arm. I have attached a few of the motifs I did on the sampler we did in her class.
I was particularly interested in your comment about HollyAnne's class. I've seriously considered it a couple of times, but just watching her Youtube videos, her constant use of "Babe" annoys the heck out of me!
