Logistics:

Lectures/Trunk Shows:

$400 plus expenses

Workshops:

$35/quilter for 3 hour and half day classes;
$45/quilter for whole day class
(15 students maximum in a 6 hr session)

I do make multiple days available in the area so every quilter has an opportunity to make a great quilt. Students will require 1/2 to 1 full standard size tables (NOT, narrow "half tables") for workspace. They are handling a lot of yardage. There must be wall space for design cloths. There must be adequate electrical outlets for sewing machines and a couple of irons.

Miscellaneous:

All travel expenses are to be paid by the sponsor: mileage (per current IRS rate), airline from Lansing, Michigan, shuttle/taxi, food and lodging.

Book sales revenue is not split with the sponsoring organization.

I am sure you will enjoy this new quilting adventure and I look forward to hearing from you and the group/shop you represent.
