"I had no idea what I was getting into when my sister signed me up for Julie's English Paper Piecing class. I have since created two beautiful table runners and a queen-size quilt! Julie's teaching made it easy and enjoyable—I’m hooked!"
"Julie was such a huge help while I was in fashion school, always sharing her expertise and encouragement!”
