Announcing a new opportunity for SDA members: SDA is renting booth space at Convergence (July 18-25, in Albuquerque) and the Houston Quilt Festival (Nov 4-7). For a $100 fee, members can have a three-hour window to do demos of techniques, process, books, DVDs or simply show their own work. Mentorship for participating in one of these opportunities is available. It's a great collaborative effort for both SDA members and the organization as a whole.
