Dawn James reviewed: Needle Felting workshops taught live online via Zoom

"I cannot recommend this course highly enough. Im a complete beginner to felting and by the end of the session had made a hare I felt proud of. Heidi is a lovely warm lady and a great teacher. She took time to explain each step in detail and gave guidance throughout the process. She also answered all my questions with patience. Zoom was easy to use and it was great being able to learn whilst at home. We also had a laugh along the way . Thank you Heidi Dawn James"

Heartfelt by Heidi responded:

"Thank you Dawn for your kind words, it means so much. I am so pleased you enjoyed it and have made something you are proud of. Needle Felting is such a fabulous craft and very rewarding and your Hare was adorable. I enjoyed spending time with you and am glad you found the guidance easy to follow and the process smooth, even though you were new to Zoom. Thank you very much for booking with me. Kind regards Heid x"

Sophie reviewed: Kookie Cats Needle Felting workshop

"We booked this for my Mum's birthday and we all really enjoyed it. The course length was good (though I think we could have carried on all night!) and Heidi was a great instructor and very patient with our varying levels of experience and engagement. We ranged in age from 13 - 63 and all managed to come home with wonderful felted toadstools and an urge to get crafting the next item! Thanks Heidi :-)"

Heartfelt by Heidi responded:

"Sophie, Thank you so much for your review, I am so pleased you all enjoyed it! You were great fun to be with and it was a pleasure to meet you all. It's lovely to find a craft that spans the ages and you can all do together equally as well. Wishing you future crafting happiness! Heidi x"

Mary Curry reviewed: Needle felting workshops taught live online by Heartfelt by Heidi

"I so enjoyed this course and the teaching was excellent. Heidi helped when it was required, but left me to get on with it when there was no problem. It was great to learn a new skill on a pleasant environment and in such good company. I am very pleased with my felted robin and feel inspired to make other needle felted animals. Thank you so much Heidi"

Darren Palmer reviewed: Kookie Cats Needle Felting workshop

"My wife and I attended a felting course in September to make foxes as part of our wool anniversary celebrations. From the moment we arrived at the venue which was located in a beautiful rural location we immediately felt relaxed in the quiet, calming surroundings. We were met by Heidi who made us feel most welcome and introduced us to a few regular course attenders as well as total beginners like ourselves. Everybody was so friendly and helpful throughout the whole day and Heidi was especially sympathetic towards extra support I needed from being registered blind. The whole experience was something I never thought I would try but having encountered various physical conditions over the last few years forcing me to realise life’s far too precious and short helping me to appreciate everyday as a bonus and to try more things with an open mind. I thoroughly enjoyed the course as did my wife. I can’t say the foxes we made were the most attractive lol, but it was our first time and attempt which I am sure will improve with practice, but the pleasure gained definitely outweighed our lack of skills. A lovely touch was after the course we had a group photo of everyone holding their finished felted foxes which has since been emailed to us as a keepsake memory. Shortly after this review I will be booking another course and possibly many more after. I would definitely recommend the course. P.s. no shortage of refreshments and cake for cake lovers."

Heartfelt by Heidi responded:

"Darren, I am so glad you and Mandy enjoyed the Workshop and felt welcomed, relaxed and comfortable. It is a beautiful venue, which I am pleased to have the use of. As you probably gathered I have a regular little following of course goers, who have a passion for felting.....and cake ;-) I always try to make my workshops accessible, relaxed and fun and suitable for all, so I am thrilled that you would both like to join me on another workshop, I would love to have you both back. As I mentioned on my Facebook page, I was hugely inspired that although registered blind, you choose a Needle Felting workshop, kept up and made a fox that any newcomer would have been proud of! Heartfelt thanks for taking the time to write a review. I hope you both enjoyed the rest of your anniversary celebrations x"

Sarah Elmer reviewed: Needle felting workshops taught live online by Heartfelt by Heidi

"I chose Heidi for a workshop to celebrate my 30th birthday with some friends, making some festive party sheep. The time flew by and we were all proud of the creations that we came away with. All of us were beginners in felting and feel confident that we could pursue it by ourselves at home if we wanted to. Heidi is absolutely lovely, friendly and so patient. None of us felt any worries or pressure. The instructions were very simple to follow and Heidi was happy to repeat them or give us individual support if we needed it. Throughout the lead up to the event, Heidi was very easy to get hold of via email and communicative throughout the entire process. I had no concerns about where to go on the day or payment details etc. I would definitely recommend her to friends or anyone looking for a fun and productive time together. You 100% get what you pay for and more!"

Heartfelt by Heidi responded:

"Thank you so much for your kind review and choosing me for your special birthday celebration. What a lovely group of ladies and baby Freddie of course, it was a pleasure to spend time with you all! I am so pleased you all enjoyed it so much and have had some wonderful feedback from some of your guests/friends too on Facebook, which brings me such reward. I very much hope you have been inspired to try felting again, alone or in a group, please feel free to get in touch if you ever need any advice or fancy another trip to the seaside ;) Heartfelt thanks Heidi x"

"I did the felt penguin workshop yesterday with my sister, we had a great time, Heidi was very friendly and welcoming as was the whole group of ladies. It was are first time and would definitely go again. Thanks for a great morning I love it. Xx"

Heartfelt by Heidi responded:

"Thank you for your lovely review Amy, I loved meeting you and your sister. I am so glad you enjoyed the workshop. I love teaching Needle Felting, especially to complete beginners who come with an open mind and willingness to learn, but usually have no idea about how to felt, but go away inspired by their own characterful make. You were great fun and should be proud of your cute penguin, I hope to see you again in the future x"

Jennie Russell reviewed: Needle felting workshops taught live online by Heartfelt by Heidi

"I had the most enjoyable and creative time. Heidi was friendly and welcoming, giving clear instructions ( and little tips) on how to make our hare. She gave us advice on the types of wool and needles you can use when felting. I loved meeting the other girls on the workshop and our supply of tea and cakes from Heidi was delicious. I found the morning relaxing and was rewarded with a super little hare with his own character at the end. Made by my own fair hands (considering I had never felted before). Definitely come away wanting to continue felting as a hobby. Loved the morning. Thanks Heidi, see you soon!"

Heartfelt by Heidi responded:

"Thank you so much for your wonderful review Jennie, I am so glad you enjoyed it so much. I love teaching people Needle Felting, as it brings so much reward and satisfaction, both for me and my workshop attendees. It's amazing what you can achieve with a little guidance and patience and seeing your creation suddenly seeming to come to life and take on a character of it's own. I am so pleased that you wish to continue felting and loved it so much that you booked on another course there and then, what a lovely compliment. I look forward to seeing you again in September for the mermaid workshop, tea, cake and giggles. Heartfelt thanks Heidi x"

"I had THE BEST TIME! Heidi made me feel at ease and was very friendly. The instructions were easy to understand and I left with a wonderful pink pig that I had made. I had never tried needle felting before and now I feel confident to have a go at home! I would recommend this course to anyone."

Carrie Ford reviewed: Kookie Cats Needle Felting workshop

"Heidi was a fantastic workshop host, kind, funny and very engaging making the workshop easy to follow. At time when I became stuck she was on hand instantly to demonstrate again the techniques. Heidi made a felt hound during the workshop which made the visual link to the instructions given. Heidi was also very good at answering questions about the workshop and facilities as I was attending with my mother who suffers from a chronic illness. She was great it making sure mum was able to take part and also comfortable. This workshop was definitely worth the money as I successfully made something, had refreshments all day and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Thanks Heidi!"

Heartfelt by Heidi responded:

"Thank you Carrie for your lovely detailed review, I am so glad you and your Mum enjoyed the workshop so much. My aim is to provide a relaxed, happy, fun atmosphere in which to learn, whilst making new friends and picking up new skills. I hope you and your Mum were inspired enough to carry on felting, both of your hounds were adorable! Your kind words have put a huge smile on my face! :) Heartfelt thanks Heidi"
