Teaching Engagements 

Mattie Rhoades, owner and founder, has taught Quiltsmart classes at quilt shops, trade shows, virtual retreats, and even on cruise ships!

We will customize an event for you! 
Mattie will visit your shop, guild, or group in person or by zoom. 
A typical event starts with an evening trunk show and/or quick project, followed by 2 days of classes, sometimes more. We will chat with you about your customers needs, the facility, and any other issues that might be unique to your venue. For example, you can concentrate on one quilt, one method, quick projects, or one method one day, and another the next.
 
Price: $750 per day plus expenses. Expenses include mileage and/or airfare, travel insurance, and meals during the event. 50% deposit is due at time of booking. Quiltsmart will email a detailed invoice for this deposit.
 
Cancellation: 
If cancelled by the host:  A 50% refunded if cancelled 4 weeks prior to the event. Plus, any non-refundable expenses already incurred will be the responsiblity the host. If rescheduled, we would apply your deposit to the future event, event must be within 1 year.
If cancelled by Quiltsmart:  Your deposit will be refunded in full. That doesn't happen often (twice in 30 years!), but we would then discuss rescheduling the event.
