and so, another ncqc ‘meet the teachers’ has come and gone. i was in the very first group this time – soooo much better!! got to enjoy everyone else without feeling like i was about to ‘hurl’ and having trouble breathing. what, me nervous?!!! i felt ok about my presentation this time, still a bit shakey, but managed to say what i wanted about the class(es). and got a few ‘laughs’ – always a good thing. however, as i mused about it this morning i realized i had still ‘missed the mark’. my class is so ‘specialzed’ and has limited appeal – i mean, folks are mostly looking for the latest and greatest new fast/fun thing to do. not so many there to find out who can show them that thing their grandma used to do. 😦
so, another lesson learned – pitch the trunk show also!! don’t just add it as an ‘after thought’. let them know it’s available and make them laugh a little more in the process!! it IS a good trunk show – if only for the quilts! some (very) old, some new – a (very) few done by me. all lovely to look at! and my words about my life – light and humorous. i know all guilds are looking for programs – that’s often what gets people to meetings! altho, my name may not be one that draws a sellout crowd – still better than nothing at all! ^_^
so, if you are here reading this as a result of the handout you picked up – please do still consider me. 🙂
peace, love and beauty www.artfullyapplique.com
