WORKSHOPS/CLASSES
What are students saying?
Classroom setting with Anne Marcellis from Sam Quilt Designs is a true journey on the yellow brick road. Anne supports your creative twists and turns with her wealth of knowledge and gladly shares her oops moments, so that you do not have them too. One comes away from the class with a litany of notes, a lot of laughter, and a memorable fiber exploration project. (O

Hi Anne, I just wanted to say thanks for the great class yesterday on One Block Wonder with Panels. You are a great teacher-personable, covered the information well, lots of visuals, good sense of humor-loved it all! And so inspiring. I can't wait until my panels come and I can start designing. I haven't been this excited over a project in a while! (Tri County Quilt Guild, Houston, Texas)
The next day, Anne taught her 6 hour workshop on One Block Wonders. She is an excellent teacher. Fun, detailed, helpful, attentive. I have had lots of positive feedback from those who took the class.
Anne is a great communicator and was so nice to work with during the planning process. We highly recommend her and are thinking of bringing her back.

Our guild recently had Anne give a One Block Wonder with Panels workshop. She provided an excellent supply list well in advance so folks could be totally prepared. We had 16 people and everyone was ready to go. Anne was well prepared, started right on time and took us on a workshop journey where we learned so so so much about One Block Wonder with Panels. Her examples, in person, and on screen photos provided a clear understanding of the importance of placement. Lastly, God bless her, her patience in helping a student with whatever questions or trouble they were having was above and beyond. Her positivity was encouranging. So happy we had this class. Thank you Anne!
