Below is a partial list of my upcoming teaching engagements. Click on "Lectures and Workshops" at the bottom of the page for a list of offerings. Often, I am able to add another group to existing teaching trips.

And - I wasn't too surprised to pull out 9 yards of a red toile-like floral on cream background that I bought in 2000 and found it was from your staples line.  I hope to use it in a two-fabric Lady of the Lake, which is somewhere further down on my list to do. Thank you for the class three years ago, for the fabrics you design that I really like, and for your emphasis on precision.  I am able to produce better quilts because of your work.
