Being a traveling quilt teacher is something I have long dreamed about being. Now that it is a reality, I often think about just how UNGLAMOROUS this life style is. The logistics are maddening, the time in the air is tedious, and the details of teaching can be nerve-wracking. Still, every time I have caught up on my sleep, I look forward to my next teaching adventure. It is weirdly addictive.
In the hopes that one of my upcoming gigs is near you, I am going to share the rest of my teaching schedule for 2019.

Next week, I am Grand Rapids, Michigan for AQS QuiltWeek. My workshops are full but there is space in my lecture—Building Community through Quilts which is scheduled for Friday, August 23, 2019 from 1PM—2PM.

Are you taking or teaching classes anywhere fun this fall? I would love to hear about it. If you have questions or comments about my teaching schedule, please contact me or leave comments below. Thank you!

Looking forward to it Belinda!
I don’t know…looks pretty glamorous…
HA!HA! Yes. It is glamorous, and it is also not glamorous. Sleeping in LAX in a construction zone because your red eye has been cancelled–NOT glamorous.
I love the Shelburne Museum and look forward to your exhibit there. Will you be teaching at the Vermont Quilt Festival or elsewhere during the exhibit? I go to Vermont when I can and would love to take a class with you. Mary
Yes! I will be teaching at the Shelbourne during the Vermont Quilt Festival. We have not worked out the details yet, but it is going to happen. I hope to see you there!
Hooray! I’ll wait on travel plans until I have your dates!!!
Sounds like a plan!
Such exciting quilts! Had hoped to see you in Asilomar! Do you ever do online workshops or lectures? Do you have a book? I really think your quilts are so artistic!!!! Pam.
Dear Pamela–I will be at Asilomar this year! I do teach and lecture online, and I do have a book. You can find out details for all those things on the home page of this website. Thank you! Happy New Year! Maria
