My lectures are very different from each other. These previews will help you decide which is best-suited to your group. When you decide, please contact me for further details and a suitable date for your event.

 
"Why Am I Buying Broccoli When All I Want To Do Is Quilt?"
 (This program explores uses for non-quilting items in the quilting process.)
Imagine this scenario with me if you will. You have decided to start a new project, so you head out to the hardware store where you will purchase door stops, duct tape, and a roll of shelf liner. Next, you stop at the office supply center for some sticky dots and a red clip board. Finally, before going home, you run into the market for toothpicks and broccoli. At this point, if I were you I would be wondering "What is she doing - buliding a house or making dinner?"
 

"OUT ON A LIMB"
This program is an exploration of the many aspects of participating in a guild challenge. Ann will cover the use of a theme and the development of ideas as well as what makes a challenge fun for your membership. Ann has been a part of many challenges and therefore has a good-sized trunk show to share.
 

"Just Quilts"

Let's face it, most quilters want to see quilts, quilts, and more quilts! With this program there will be a bit of talking, a lot of laughter, and many, many quilts. Let me show you how I came from being a home sewer to an art quilter. This is a trunk show that all will enjoy.

 

 

"Confessions of the Quilt Police"

(If you have ever wondered just why a judge makes the decisions she (or he) does, then this is the lecture you want to hear.You will not only leave with a better understanding of the entire judging process, you will also learn what it takes to make a winning quilt. This lecture is guaranteed to be a real guild-pleasing experience for all.)

Remember the advice your parents gave you - "The police are your friends. They are there to help and protect you". This also applies the the quilting world. Judges comments are meant to guide and instruct you, and to keep you from making the same old mistakes over and over. Constructive criticism is a good thing!
