    Hi Brenda –had the opportunity to be in a class that you taught in Walkerton was not happy when l signed up for the class last Nov. but am so very happy that l did take on this experience with you, it was a day that l did not want to end–really can not say that about any other class –usually everyone is glad and tired at the end of a class–not so with your class we talked about it even to this day. Thank you for teaching us the ”Norfolk Bag” just love the Bag.

    Why, thank you Marie. Kathy and I very much enjoyed ourselves and it was lovely to see so many lovely bags emerging from the cut pieces. You did a terrific job!
