Classes/Lectures
I'm available to give lectures, trunk shows and/or classes. The cost of travel, lodging and meals are the responsibility of the guild. Due to actual quilts being shown in the trunk shows, I prefer to drive anywhere within 300 miles. In that case, travel cost will be at the IRS mileage rate. This is a small sampling of the services I offer. I've currently taught classes for my quilt guilds, as well as for retreat projects. In addition, I teach at local sewing centers and provide lectures at local quilt guild meetings.
