Lectures / Shows:
My lectures cover my story of how I got into sewing, quilting and designing. I believe there are many similarities between traditional mosaic tiles floors and Quilts. I like to share and expand upon that during lectures showcasing design from my book. I’ll also share examples of my other designs and where I get my inspiration from. I’ll cover my wool appliqué designs which I have been focused on recently and are featured on my website, Primitive Quilts & Projects and Wool Works magazines. I bring along lots of displays of not only my completed designs but also show how I work and give tips as well. My lectures typically last between 45 minutes to one hour.I also sell my patterns and kits before and after the lectures.
