TESTIMONIALS
"I just wanted to send a note of thanks for hosting the raffle for the
workroom table. I was just about to make one for my workroom. When my name
was called, I was actually standing in a booth buying a canvas cover. This
could not have come at a better time!"
Thank you so much,
Brenda Wells
Winner of the Workroom Table at the Southern Design & Workroom Conference
in Knoxville,TN March 2, 2008
"Thank you for waiving my registration fees for the conference. If there
could be a silver lining to Donna Skufis' foot surgery and not being able to
drive, it's that I finally made it to a conference after hearing about them
for years. Your generosity was the extra push I needed.
I learned so much Scot Robbins and Amy Burton and Donna and Beth Hodges and
all the exhibitors.
I'm a big fan of the conference now and I do plan to return without the
extra incentive.
Thank you again!"
All the best,
Jo Moore
“I learned so much, but most of all found I am much more qualified than I thought. I am
empowered to do more than I had hoped to and am looking forward to 2008. Thank you!”

“Can’t begin to tell you what a wonderful time I had at the show in Valley Forge. I stayed
for 4 days and I can say that every class I took was a 100+. I hated to see it end.”
– Suzanne , Batavia, NY

“I can honestly say I have always walked away with more knowledge then I had previously.
A lot of great people, great topics, interesting products, and most of all new friendships
- Sewing sisters.”
– Herbie O’Keefe, Santa Fe, NM
Santa Fe Cover Up
"I have already used several of the techniques I learned at the conference on projects in our
workroom. They have made the end product even better. I would also like to take some of the
business courses offered. Even after 18 years in the business I know that there is more
I can learn."
