           Workshops and Lectures for Guilds

I have a set of programs and workshops that I offer to guilds nationally.  I offer one to five day workshops based on my new book Thoroughly Modern Dresden.  I also offer a series of free motion quilting workshops.  In addition to workshops, I also have a series of lectures available.

Two Day Workshop - In addition to what is taught in the one day workshop, students are able to get additional instruction on more complicated designs and piecing techniques such as Curved Top Blades and Split Blades.

Five Day Workshop - In addition to what is taught in the one and two day workshops, students are able to construct more difficult techniques. In addition, we will be able to explore design possibilities and students can create their own designs.

Free Motion Quilting Workshops:
