The course was excellent, I couldn't get away from it! Well presented! Thank you Melanie ~ A Behr
Very informative and easy to understand using photos to show examples. I learned a lot from this course! My favorite takeaway- the instructor is from South Africa and kept calling throw pillows “scatter cushions!” It made me laugh and kept me entertained! ;) I enjoyed this instructor and would take another course with her again ~ A Hawley
