April 11, 2013

6 Unexpected Lessons

July 6, 2012

Sometimes lessons come when you least expect them. In mid-July I’ll be given exactly three minutes to sell my skills to a group of shop owners, guild Program Chairs and others interested in hiring quilting teachers at the Northern California Quilt Council. I’ve been putting off the task of making six giant quilt sandwiches for […]
