Book a Fun & Fascinating Program!
Technical and Practical Guidelines:
All of my presentations include a trunk show, with quilts for touching. These are made by me, or in my collection of anique, vintage, and contemporary quilts.
To show quilts too precious and priceless for my humble budget, I have collected slides that add variety and amazement to my presentations. For this segment, I use 35mm slides, on a slide projector which I bring myself. I use a remote control, so I can stand up front near the images. It's really helpful if your guild can supply the following:
- Room that can be darkened
- Audiovisual cart or table for my projector
- Extension cord
- Screen...or white wall, or pressed white fabric taped or pinned to a wall
- Table or two, for exhibiting trunk show items, plus books for show and sale
- Optional, but nice: podium or table I can put my notes on; a little light; a mike if the room and group are large (otherwise, I have a good, strong voice).
Guidelines for Fees:
Generally, I charge $300 per slide lecture, plus transportation costs. If I need to stay overnight, I’m hoping you’ll make arrangements for non-smoking accommodations or home hospitality.
If your guild is small and the travel is minimal, if you are booking me for a workshop during the same visit, OR if you can help me coordinate other programs for a neighboring guild on the day before or the day after, I may be able to negotiate on my fee.
