Book me for a highly entertaining and engaging lecture with a trunk show of my quilts.
I offer two different in-person lectures and virtual lectures via Zoom. My lecture fee for 2026 is $450 in-person and via Zoom. For in-person events, there are additional fees related to travel, lodging, and meals.
How Did I Get Here? My Improv Journey
In this 1-hour lecture and trunk show, I share my journey—from a hobbyist without a clear personal style to a modern, improvisational quilter with a distinct voice. Along the way, I’ll share the pivotal moments, experiments, and influences that shaped my work, and share a selection of quilts that mark my creative evolution.
Color Stories: What you really need to know about color to design stunning quilts.
Color Stories is a one-hour lecture that takes a deep dive into the exploration and application of color theory for quilters. You don’t need a color wheel to design quilts that use color effectively! Instead, I’ll share my insights from my years of working with color to help you create effective color stories—whether bold, subtle, or nuanced—with confidence. Through a showcase of my quilts, I’ll illustrate key lessons I’ve learned about using color—how it carries emotional weight, sets a mood, and tells a story. Whether you're looking to refine your color sense or break out of a color rut, this lecture will leave you inspired to see color in new ways and use it more intentionally in your work.
