Student Testimonials 

"Along with two friends, I attended her class "Creative Sweatshirt Jackets - Londa's Way" at the AQS Quilt Show in Nashville.  This class was most interesting and helpful.  We were even more excited about sewing.  Londa was in the classroom before the appointed time, passing some of her sweatshirt jackets around, for us to see and inspect.  The class also went past the scheduled time for those who could remain.  She gives of her time very generously.  Her experience and knowledge of designing is most helpful in making sweatshirt jackets.   I highly recommend her class if you have the opportunity. "

"Thank you so much for your presentation at the Martha Pullen Sewing Market. My favorite kind of sewing is that which adds flair or embellishment (in small doses or great gobs, depending on the result I want) to simple garments. So your embellished sweatshirt jackets were a real delight.

First, your presentation is excellent. You are upbeat and bright and witty, bringing life to your samples and methods and materials. Your class is interesting and involving and I wanted to go right home and try everything you showed. 

Then, your samples are gorgeous and quickly give those in the audience who had never tried something of this sort a real desire to own a jacket like yours  and the knowledge that to own one, they will have to make it themselves as these are definitely one of a kind garments. 

Your directions were so clear and so easy to follow that I could hardly wait to get home and cut up a sweatshirt. You also showed so many interesting products that we could use to embellish our jackets that I had not seen used before. I wanted to try them all. And I did try to buy many of them to bring home and try. 

So here I am today, with Paintstiks® and felting needles, fat quarters and ribbons, a pigment dyed sweatshirt and your CD of methods and I am ready to go. Thank you for a terrific presentation. 

By the way, on the first day of the show, I began to hear your name everywhere as soon as you had completed your first presentation. Word of mouth spread fast and I almost was unable to get in to one of your groups since it seemed that everyone at the Sewing Market wanted to hear you. Your must have been the most talked about presenter there this week. Congratulations. And please come back to Arlington. You were so delightful."
