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.
