| Guild Program or Special Event Idea! The Times in Which She Quilted: Historical Trends, Fads, & Fabric Mania Barbara Pike and I make this presentation as a team, sharing a broad, hands-on overview of quilting styles from the early 1800s to the 1940s. |
| See the Programs & Workshops for more ideas (see sidebar). You might consider special events, quilt shop classes, or demonstration days. I've had a great time working with small groups in home environments, too. |
| By the way, did you know that Barbara Pike and I are both studying to become professional quilt appraisers? By Fall 2010 we hope to begin giving actual appraisals for your quilting events. |
| I'm participating in these events in 2010 - I'd love to see you there, too! NQA Show: I've returned from the Show where I had a great time and met wonderful fellow-quilters!
