Très cool - I am the featured Artist at The Artist Directory this week.....

 

I'll be teaching at QSDS next summer!

Yes, I am so excited! I've always wanted to teach there. At the beginning of my career as a fiber artist, I took a class at the Quilt Surface Design Symposium with Judy Hooworth and it was one of the best learning experiences I've had.

If you haven't ever been -- are interested in learning techniques and design thinking related to  contemporary quilting -- then this is the place. I will be teaching a 2 and a 5 day class:
Session 3:     Favorite Places    Length 5 days
Session 4:     Map Haiku            Length 2 days
