I have several popular lectures and most workshops are about technique but you leave with a nearly finished product! They are lots of fun. See you soon.
A recent comment on my lectures:
by Deborah
"Lee Anna, I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation last night at the Pax River Quilters Guild. I wish we could have devoted several hours to what you had to say and to your inspiring work. You can add a new descriptor to your resume: catalyst. According to Merriam-Webster: a person or event that quickly causes change or action. You've succeeded in being a catalyst for me. Today I'm in my studio, creating something that's been cooped up in my head. Thank you!"
