Class Size: 25 Students maximum or prior approval for larger groups.
Fee for books and patterns will be quoted within 6 months of lecture or workshops.

Workshop/Demo: Not a Lecture, not a workshop, but a combination of the two.  Class size limited: 35 to 55 people.  This class has become popular for guilds that many have charged an attendance fee to non members to help pay for costs.
 * Larger groups excepted upon agreement.

    Travel Costs:   All travel costs including ground transportation to and from the airport will be  
        reimbursed by the sponsoring group.  Costs include airfare, daily parking, or shuttle service
        to and from residents. 

   Airplane Tickets: 

Airplane tickets need to be booked no more than 8 weeks prior to date of engagement.  Reservations should be discussed prior to booking ticket.  We will purchase tickets or you can if you prefer.  Travel time must be OK'd prior to purchase.  Billie prefers a window seat and flying out of LAX.  We will need Destination-Airport and Airport code if possible.  The drive time from Lecture or Workshop to airport should also be discussed. Any changes after ticketing that results in fees, will be charged to sponsor unless its a mistake or cancellation on our part.

  Travel Expenses and Other Information:

By Automobile Mileage $.41 per mile
Housing to be arranged and paid for by Sponsor.
Hotel Only, Private Non-Smoking Room & Bath on first floor or hotel must have an elevator.  (Billie travels with large heavy suitcases.)
Food:  All meals are provided for during the duration of Billie's stay with the group.  Please provide fruit and drinks-bottled water and or Diet Coke in the hotel room.  Many planes no longer serve food on their flights and an apple is greatly appreciated.
Entertainment: Please do not feel obligated to entertain Billie 24 hours a day.  Some "Down Time" is needed to rest up.  Note from Billie * I do still love to go to quilt shops.  I love history and architecture.  I knit, read books, make jewelry, rubber stamps.  I also enjoy meeting quilters.
Merchandise:  Billie's books and patterns will be made available for purchase.  We give a discount to guilds on our products.  Products will be shipped ahead, due to weight restrictions on airplanes.  During the lecture or workshop Billie needs one or two people to handle the sales and collect the money. We have an order form, that needs to be filled out, before books and products are distributed.  Anyone who helps is given a book or product of their choice in appreciation.  Any products not sold, will be shipped back UPS ground.  Detailed instructions will be mailed with books and products.
