I wanted to commend you on how well your "trunk show" seamlessly worked in a lot of valuable information about value, contrast, colour, improvisation, texture etc - you were teaching very well, even though some of the quilters in the audience may not have realized they were being taught - well done!
From all the comments we heard at our table alone you wowed them! Throughout the night everyone learned so much and the tips you shared about bindings in different colours, how odd colours can work, the corner hangers and sleeves on both ends, your sense of humour and your fabulous array of your quilts just made a fabulous presentation. As I was leaving folks were still chatting about what a great speaker you were!
Oh my goodness!!!! Your program was amazing! Your work is breathtaking.
