You, my friend, are amazing!
You teach people how to make beautiful things.
You help your students develop and master the skills and find the creativity that brings balance and joy to their lives.

 Now, just between us, how is the balance in YOUR life?  

Do you want to be able to reach students outside of your immediate vicinity?
Do you really want to go back to the full-time travel hustle in order to make the income you need?
What if you could limit your travel schedule to exactly the right amount of time for YOU,
and still bring in a higher income than you did before?

EXPAND YOUR AUDIENCE
WITHOUT LEAVING YOUR HOME

Traveling to teach on the international quilt guild circuit is one of my favorite things to do and I will never give it up! It can also be exhausting. Ordering and shipping supplies, balancing two 50lb suitcases, arranging all the details, then actually hauling everything along with you. I have never loved that part.

I also know what it's like to work the travel circuit with children still at home. I started when I had five children at home and the youngest was 3. Believe me, being on the road felt like a vacation, but the days before each trip were an intense flurry of arranging childcare, lesson schedules, and a million other things!

People always asked how I managed to "do it all." In truth, for every ball in the air, there were two or three rolling away on the floor.

It doesn't have to be this way.
Find the perfect balance for YOU!

The bottom line is that Virtual Teaching is here to stay. Students need to have workshops worth their time and their money, and that is the advantage of the Academy. We help teachers to give QUALITY online workshops.

I had no technical background with any sort of video production so I needed help with what equipment to buy. I took the time to sit down and say, OK I don’t need the high-end stuff right now, I can start with the low-end and work my way up.

I particularly appreciate the "big ocean with room for all of us" and the "start with what you have" philosophies. It's a breath of fresh air being in a place that is supportive.
