Accommodations

Note: airfare can be very expensive to some locations. To estimate the airfare costs, please look up the rate from my home airport of Las Vegas, Nevada (LAS). I will fly Southwest whenever possible.

• Travel includes airfare, mileage to/from my airport, baggage fees, shipping quilts and any other non-specified incidentals.
• I book my own airfare and I choose flights and travel times to accommodate my needs (e.g. no red-eye flights or extremely long layovers). Please note that this may not be cheapest flight, but it will be equivalent to standard coach rates.
• I will drive to locations within 300 miles of Las Vegas; standard mileage rates apply.
• Meals, hotel lodging and travel expenses required for bookings outside the Las Vegas area.
• Meals are charged at the current IRS per diem rate per day including travel days.
• Hotel lodging includes the night before the first event through the night of the last event.
• Host may choose to arrange and pay for hotel lodging; otherwise the cost is an average rate of $150 per night, unless specified otherwise.
• A projector & screen (or HDMI TV) are required along with electricity and extension cords.
• I require tables to set up and share my books, patterns, and other items. I will offer direct sales of my products to students unless contracting directly with a quilt shop, or unless specified otherwise.
• I can accommodate up to 22 students per class. Lectures/trunk shows are unlimited.

Contract

• Specifies dates and fees for the event, including travel.
• $100 non-refundable deposit due within 30 days of signed contract; applied toward the balance of the engagement.
• Travel fees (airfare, hotel, etc.) are non-refundable due to cancellation of event by the host.
• Balance of fees are due the day of the event.
• Nearby bookings that require an overnight stay must include at least one full day workshop.
• I will have my books and designer products available for purchase during the event; be sure to schedule a venue that allows selling. I am responsible for complying with all tax laws.
• As a general rule, I don’t teach on Sundays.
