Great class! My eyes were opened about how to see. Pat is a very patient and creative teacher! Thank you!

Great class - I love the ideas for getting my ideas done quickly. finding my voice, seeing what images appeal to me, and unleashing my creativity. Thanks!

Pati, Thank you for the creative adventure!

This has been a very inspirational experience for me, certainly what you’ve presented, Pati, as well as seeing how others have taken the journal work into new designs. Yay and thanks!

Pati, this was really good for me; gave me a new way of thinking about how to use my “idea” pictures. I think it will change my artwork and help keep me from getting so stuck. Thanks.

The class opened my eyes to see images in a new way. Now when I look through a magazine I see more than I saw before. Pati showed how our pages can translate into designing a quilt. The best part is I now have a home for images I have been saving for years and can put somewhere where they inspire. me. I'm looking forward to making more pages in my design journal. Thank you Pati!
Great class. Good reminder of design elements & principles. Renewed my interest in my past design journals.

Loved learning how to examine images and determining what drew me to them and how I might use them in my quilting.

This is a great class. Pati is an awesome teacher. I learned a lot about designs and ideas. I think that one of the best things about this class is no unfinished pieces. The other is so many new ideas I’ve gotten.

Taking a Zoom quilt class is the best experience during Covid. Pati’s class was very inspiring for making future quilts and we now all have a notebook of ideas. We were able to share our photos and Pati gave us each feedback. It is great to know that classmates were able to join from different states and areas in California.

Thank you for the most enjoyable class, Pati. I found your instruction inspiring and my creativity stoked! I learned new techniques, a new way to begin looking and thinking about design, and resources that I am excited to investigate, and the Zoom experience was actually a great venue. Thank you

Pati’s class was a great way to re-set for the new year! The notebook and cut images allowed a lot of exploration and reflection that was easily applied to my art and quilts. The notebook will be a great place to meditate and collect inspirations and will be a resource for years to come.
