Hands On Sewing Schools

Here are just a few comments from those who have attended Ricky and Kay’s Educational Events:

Judy Work
I just want to say this was the best 3 days I have ever had. So organized, Did not have to share the machine. Everyone had there own. I learned soooooo much, everyone was soooo nice, lots of prizes, even though I did not win. :( maybe next time, yes I would go again! Thank you to Judy Rob for doing this too. Had a wonderful time.

Hands on Sewing is the best workshop I have been to in a long time. Getting re-energized for embroidery again!

Martha Turner, Harvey, LA
I just experienced one of the best vacations of my life. 4 great days on sewing, learning new techniques and spending time with people who love to sew. Thank you " Hands On® Sewing School" I look forward to doing this again next year and many years to come.

Just wanted to thank you again for the great weekend at #Handsonsewingschool! I had a fantastic time and learned a lot, including how to finish this quilt I've been working on for the past six months. It was a fabulous event, look for us at another one...this time with more friends! Your staff are the warmest, friendliest and most helpful group and `The Donnas' really appreciate all the time and effort you put in to making our trip so worthwhile. Loved it! Thank you!!

One more fun day of the R&K Hands On® Sewing School Event in Pigeon Forge, TN! Even saw snow today! Special Thanks to all the Awesome instructors teaching and helping the many folks from all over. Food was great and of course the visit from the Candy Man each day!

Alisa Paoletti
I had a great time at the Hands On® Sewing School Event! Thank you for bringing it to Binghamton NY! Even though I live in the Town of Binghamton, just :20 from the Hotel, I opted to stay because of the weather. I am so glad I did! I learned so much:
1. I really needed a class on stabilizers!
A. Kay Brooks was so helpful! I never know which stabilizer to use with certain fabrics!
B. I didn’t know there were that many stabilizers or how to use them!
They gave us a DVD of her class that we can always go to as well as a nice chart of stabilizers and how to use them. I Now, can confidently, embroider better with this knowledge.
2. Ricky Brooks IS the Candy Man!
As he would literally dump handfuls of candy in front of you on your table! When I told him that I couldn’t eat chocolate, he came back with a substitute for me! How very thoughtful and kind! Thank you again for having this event!

We had so much fun in Lansdale, PA at the Hands On® Sewing School Weekend. Thank you Ricky and Kay for a great experience. A special thank you to Debbie From Byrnes Sewing for sponsoring the event. If you get a chance to go, GO - you will learn so much.

Spending a wonderful three days with Ricky Brooks and the Hands On® Sewing School group in Pigeon Forge Tennessee. Learning a lot.

Facebook is a buzz about the Hands On® Sewing School this past weekend (11/9-11/11) in Alexandria, Virginia!

Having a blast and learning lots at the Hands On® Sewing School - and Cookie is fabulous!

Rosemary Hannigan
This was my first Hands On® Sewing School event, and I had a great time. Everything was well-planned, and I appreciated having 1 person per machine. Once I got past the learning curve of the new machine, it was smooth sailing. Kay is truly an expert with stabilizers, and I learned a lot from her. Thanks for such a great 3 days!

Pat Walker
This was the first Hands On® Sewing School Event I ever attended and must admit it will not be the last. It was an exciting, fun filled 3 day event. Lots of learning, lots of hands on, and lots of laughter. I went with a friend but made new friends and new acquaintances. Every attendee had their own individual machine, their own supplies and an ample workstation; plus, we rotated between stitching and lecture/demo. I also finished two beautiful projects in-class. I will join their next event in a heartbeat! :-) Thank you EVERYONE for such a wonderful time. Look forward to seeing you in the future.

Judie Quigley

Dear Rick and cohorts, I had a wonderful time at the school. I learned an awful lot. I really enjoyed the classes, both hands on and lecture. I am no longer afraid of my digitizing software! Thank you for a wonderful time and great experience. I will be back.

Virgillia Radnovich
Dear Rick and Kay, Thank you for providing such a wonderful week in Baton Rouge. I came alone so I was a little uncomfortable at first and worried if I would have a good time. I need not have worried. I had a great time and felt comfortable right away. The activities and instructors were wonderful and the food was outstanding. I don’t know a whole lot about my hotel room because I spent so very little time there, something you so thoughtfully made sure of. Thank you again for all of your hard work orchestrating the Hands On® Sewing School!
Sincerely,

Jo Ann Kotlarczyk
All of you deserve a big THANK YOU!!!! Baton Rouge was a wonderful experience! I enjoyed the Orlando Hands On® Sewing School, and was expecting a similar experience, but all the stops were pulled out for Baton Rouge. The classes and instructors were fabulous as were the materials used for hands on. Special thanks to Rick, Kay and John. Your efforts on our behalf did not go unnoticed. I really love the Suzanne Hinshaw embroidery I received as a prize and couldn't have chosen anything more desirable. The fellowship was super and felt by all. The video put it all together. The techniques learned will be appreciated every time my machines are turned on.

Dear Rick and Kay, This is Marylyn Reagan. I returned home exhausted, but thrilled with all the new things I learned and the great "deals" that I purchased. I want to thank you all for the wonderful experience that you provided. I have had the opportunity, over the years, to coordinate and produce conferences, and I know the work that is involved in gathering all the talent you put together so successfully. God bless you for this....
...Again, thank you so very much. God bless you all in all future endeavors. Say a prayer for me once in a while, as all of you are in mine.
