As always with Gill, the class was fun and I learnt a lot. We covered several techniques, I gained some confidence in quilting with a ruler and it’s great that we have access to the videos to continue learning with lots of other patterns to practise. AS

I have done several workshops with Gill now via zoom and one in person at her home. All have been enjoyable and i have learned a lot from Gill. She is a very friendly person and has a lovely teaching style, which i enjoy very much. She is constantly expanding her repertoire of classes and has adapted amazingly this year to take all her teaching online. I have particularly enjoyed learning to machine quilt with Gill and am now expanding its use in my own work. I love the quilts i have made on the Solstice and Meridian Quilt day workshops

"Absolutely love classes with Gill. They’re a lot of fun and Gill is a fab teacher, giving as much help as is needed. She is inspirational and I love looking at all the other projects she has on the go! I attend her regular Friday class as well as some of her workshops. I learned loads on Gill’s free motion classes, loved making the tuffet, the bags, piped cushions and a mixture of modern and traditional quilt methods. Highly recommend Gill’s classes!"

“The challenge has been a fantastic experience. I am not a quilter, although I like machine embroidery, but this has given me so much confidence to take this further. Excellent teacher, facilitator, and encourager. In fact, all that you want in a teacher-thank you”

“It’s Gilly herself who’s such an awesome teacher, listener and caring soul. I had the pleasure for a weekend, learning the block “Storm at sea”. She is so talented and explains each move in a way you’ll remember. Excited about her club. ”

“Online courses with GillyMac are beautifully paced with clear visuals and instructions. GillyMac is a gem, she is calm, easy to listen to and totally supportive of all levels of ability. I didn’t know GillyMac before I started my first course but kinda got to feel like a friend. Fabulous FB support and interaction too! I learned much more than I came for. Thank you Gill ”
