Please take a look at my Talks and my Workshops pages. I would love the opportunity to join you, and I am happy to work in whatever time zone suits you.

With the global pandemic still raging in many places, it is likely to be a very long time before the face to face meeting of large groups can take place.

​

However, so many people have learned to use Zoom in order to stay in touch with friends and family, that live online talks and classes are now viable and create exciting opportunities:

​

• Everyone stays safe at home, but can fully interact with the tutor and other students

• 6 Hour workshops can be divided into two sessions, with a break of some days in between to allow more sewing time

• It is possible to arrange a review meeting soon after the workshop, to answer questions and enjoy seeing what has been produced

• The lack of travel, accommodation and venue expenses makes booking tutors very affordable

• No-one has to set up the tables and chairs

• No carrying of heavy sewing machines

• You can’t leave something vital (like a power cord) at home

• No bringing a car full of fabrics, and still feeling like you have left an ideal fabric at home

• No packing up at the end

• If you are having fun, you can keep sewing at the end of the class

• No long drive home

​

Quilt Retreats are starting up again in some areas. Why not consider building a retreat around a Zoom class?

​

Since travel and accommodation costs are not a factor, 3-hour workshops become an economic possibility, and have proved popular with Guilds and students. I offer a number of 3-hour classes, and these are clearly marked on the workshop page.

​

At the moment, I choose to only offer live online classes, as opposed to video classes. I like the
interaction with students, I can give immediate answers to questions and I can see if someone on my screen is looking puzzled or confused. When a student has that “eureka” moment, it makes my day and I don’t want to miss it!

 

I try to make an online class as close as possible to being with you in person, so that you still have that community atmosphere, and I sew live, just as I would if I was with you in person.  Classes are usually limited to 24 so that I can see everyone.

​

I don’t mute anyone in class unless it is absolutely necessary, again to make it feel more like a regular class. If you have a problem or a question, just sing out! However, I do encourage people to self-mute if they get a phone call or their dog is barking, etc.

​

Not everyone is a Zoom veteran yet, so my host and I are online and ready to go half an hour before the class is due to start, so that we can give help where needed. I have my own host (my husband) so that the Guild organiser can relax and enjoy the class too.
