I have to do a trunk show (and a workshop) for our quilt guild in January and I'm already panicking. I'm NOT a public speaker and the entire thought scares me. It didn't help that the speaker they had this month was able to talk with NO notes for nearly an hour and she was interesting the entire time. They'll be lucky if I can find enough to say to fill ten minutes much less an hour!Magpie's Mumblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09852241848575954128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8462786286812438647.post-68749538998441988882023-11-24T20:16:36.285+11:002023-11-24T20:16:36.285+11:00I agree Nestki, There are some works that I admire...I agree Nestki, There are some works that I admire from other artists that I would love to have.Linda Steelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15251668087604960451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8462786286812438647.post-10649509052153203182023-11-24T11:19:28.066+11:002023-11-24T11:19:28.066+11:00Some pieces of art just grab you and won’t let go....Some pieces of art just grab you and won’t let go.
