Hello and welcome!
I'm currently offering both in-person lectures and workshops, as well as virtual lectures and workshops using Zoom. If Zoom is new to you and your guild/group, I'm happy to walk you through how this works. If you're looking to fill a hole from cancelled in-person programming, please reach out; I'm happy to help!
Below is an overview of what I offer as well as my current lecture/workshop schedule; please contact me for availability and pricing. I look forward to working with you!

Lectures:
Confessions of a Quilt Magazine Editor
In this hour-long lecture, I offer an insider's look at the world of quilt magazine publishing. I draw on my eight years of experience as an editor for several different quilt magazines, providing a behind-the-scenes look at assigning projects to designers, the magic of photoshoots, and how a magazine comes together. I'll also share tips and tricks for submitting designs and thoughts on how the industry is changing in the advent of digital publishing. This lecture includes a trunk show of projects I've had featured in quilting magazines.

Hooked on Improv Quilting Trunk Show
In this trunk show, I'll share the quilts that illustrate my journey from traditional to modern quilting. Each of my quilts comes with a story about the artists who inspired my work (Victoria Findlay Wolfe and Gwen Marston, for starters!), as well as plenty of close-up looks. I'll also walk you through the process of sewing a wonky log cabin block, my personal favorite! If you're interested in exploring the no-rules world of improv piecing and the design doors it can open, this is the lecture for you!

Strippy Improv Quilting Trunk Show
This trunk show focuses on quilts I’ve made using the strippy improv quilting technique. I will talk about how I started creating quilts using this method, which combines improv piecing and reverse applique. I’ll share the various quilts and small projects I’ve stitched, including my most popular pattern, Strippy Improv Holiday, and show all of the possibilities available using this technique (hint: it’s great for sewing with kids too!).
