In this economy it is hard for guilds to get members to commit to workshops but those same members want local and famous quilters to come Lecture  at their guild meetings. Well I think I have a solution to this dilemma. I call it the Lectshop,this is a mini lecture with a hands on demonstration where members can participate and those members who would prefer to watch can come up close and see how things are done.

The lecture part would be 20-30 minutes and could include a small trunk show. The mini workshop would be 45 minutes -1 hour. The total cost for the Lectshop will vary with the type of mini workshop requested. The cost to the members who want to participate will be less than $10 for nitrile gloves , cloth apron and directions. The protection/directions kit will be available to the members before I start the demonstration and they can pay me directly(cash).The members can also bring their own protection(but will still need to pay for the directions $2).

The Lectshop is ideal for small guilds ,quilt shows  without  loads of money or an interest in  expensive workshops. If you know of any guild,quilt show,church,4-H group or youth organization who would be interested in the Lectshop please give them the link to this page!
