2019 Teaching Schedule

Since almost every teaching location listed is one I’ve been to before, I included links to past blog posts from those venues, so you’ll have more than enough material to peruse with that cuppa in hand. Classes are listed chronologically, January through November.

If you are interested in attending any classes, please note the registration information in each listing. All of the classes have filled since this blog first posted, but ask to have your name added to the waitlist. Cancellations happen more frequently than organizers would like, so it’s nice to have a list of interested students.

Thank you.

Interior of Royal Exhibition Building in Melbourne, from my visit in 2016. Classes were held in the balcony overlooking the main floor. On the right is part of a special exhibit by Victoria Findley Wolfe. On the left in the background is my quilt, “Crocodylus Smylus.” Due to her size, “Stevie” will unfortunately not be making the trip to OZ again in 2019.

    • Hi Jam, so many places, so little time!! My teaching travels take me where invitation and schedule permit. If you know of a group or venue that would be interested, feel free to pass along my website or blog info. However, with travel as it is, I do require five or more days teaching at a location. Thanks for asking!

  • Susan, I love reading your post and seeing your creative works of art. I have looked on your various sites for the cost of the retreats held in Maine. I have family in Both NH and Mass and would love to incorporate a trip with a beginners retreat in 2019.
    Pleas provide a ballpark figure if you have not established the cost for next year as of yet, or direct me to the appropriate location on your website.
    Best regards,

    • Hi Deb, this year’s 2018 retreats are either $740/four-day retreat or $925/five-day retreat—plus lodging and most dinners. Next year’s 2019 costs will be in that ballpark. Hope you can make it work!

    • Hi Mary, it’s been years and years ago, but I was in Northern Georgia once—and a lovely group of ladies it was! Please see my reply to Jam above—maybe you can join forces! 😉

  • Are you doing a Maine retreat in 2019? Can’t find it listed. Went to it maybe 5 years ago and loved it and learned much and would love to repeat it.
    Would love to be added to your blog…I tried and just does not register…will keep trying.
