Tracey Smissen reviewed: Quilt in a Day, one-to-one course with Amanda Jane Ogden

"I recently attended the Quilt in a Day workshop, and it was a genuinely enriching experience. As a beginner, I felt completely supported from the moment I arrived. Amanda was incredibly patient and calm, guiding step by step through the process. Explaining the equipment we were using and other options available. She taught how to measure and cut precisely, and how to join squares, rectangles, triangles. Every time I felt unsure, she was reassuring and encouraging, which really helped my confidence grow throughout the day. The day course is very well structured - clearly a lot of thought and effort has gone into creating it. I also appreciated the way she shared the history of quilting, explained the options for different types of wadding, gave information about the wider quilting community and the resources available. Her own quilts were beautiful and inspiring — clearly she is very talented and passionate about what she does. By the end of the day, I felt that I had learned so much more than I expected — not just about technique, but about creativity, precision, and community. I left feeling proud of what I’d made and excited to keep going. I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone, whether you’re a complete beginner or building on your skills. It was calm, informative, encouraging — and most of all, enjoyable"

Amanda Jane Textiles responded:

"Dear Tracey, Thank you so much for your kind and comprehensive review. I am so pleased that you enjoyed the course and that you are all set to continue with this new hobby. Amanda"

Ruth Logue reviewed: Quilt in a Day, one-to-one course with Amanda Jane Ogden

"This really was a five star day. I had a very enjoyable day with Amanda teaching me the basics of quilting. Amanda is a fabulous teacher who is extremely patient and explains things clearly. The day was very full and we made the most of very minute. I learned so much and I liked having one-to-one tuition. Amanda showed me various resources during our breaks and followed the day up with helpful contacts and resources, so that I can start to continue my quilting journey independently . I came away with a beautiful miniature quilt and would highly recommend Amanda and this one day course."

Amanda Jane Textiles responded:

"Dear Ruth, thank you for your review. This is just the start of your quilting journey. Your small quilt was put together with great accuracy, so that will stand you in very good stead for the future, I feel. (A 'miniature' quilt would be tiny - but perhaps you will go on to make one of those in time...!) Amanda"

"Brilliant course which resulted in a gorgeous quilt that I can't believe I made! Amanda is an excellent teacher, so patient and clear, and I had a wonderful day working with her and learning so much. Thank you Amanda!"

Amanda Jane Textiles responded:

"Dear Georgina, Thank you for your kind review. You are now so much at home with using a sewing machine and you were immediately comfortable with using the tools for quilt-making. I am so pleased! Amanda"
