Thank you for your nice comments! I am completely specialized on hand quilting and I do wholeclohts, so a lesson in appliqué is not what I can (or want to) do. The students in my workshops practice the technique on a small quilt which can also be used as a pillow cover - and I show my own quilts at the end of the day, so they I think they can't feel overstrained!
I would really love to do something like a trunk show or a lecture. People who are only interested in looking at hand quilted wholecloths could come and hear something about the quilt history, about the patterns etc. - and they don't have to do it by themselves. I have never heard that somebody does trunk shows here in Germany, so I don't know how people will react. Maybe I should think about it.
