I was the Artist in Residence at Empty Spools Seminars at Pacific Grove CA in 2019. What a wonderful experience! I gave a 30 minute talk, displayed my quilts, and then was available to the more than 200 quilters that attended the session to answer any questions they had about my work. I had a different color lesson each day, and it was a lot of fun to talk with attendees about what I was working on.
