Events: Lectures, Workshops, Trunk Shows, Demos, Vending, etc.
Is your shop or guild looking for new talent to teach a class/workshop or to have a speaker at your event? Raija has published fourteen quilt patterns so far, some of which have been featured in Keepsake Quilting, Hancock's of Paducah, and Missouri Star Quilt Co catalogs. Two of Raija's quilts have also been featured in advertisements appearing in several quilting magazines for a major fabric company. Raija works with Timeless Treasures, Robert Kaufman, and RJR Fabrics to showcase their latest fabric collections. Raija is Studio 180 Design certified instructor, and many of her patterns feature tools by Studio 180 Design.
Contact Raija to schedule a workshop or speaking engagement for your shop or guild. Raija is happy to teach any one of her patterns. Raija's lecture "The journey of a Quilt Pattern Designer" covers her journey into pattern designing, highlighting struggles and happy moments along the way and will feature some of the quilts shown on her pattern covers. Raija's other lecture, "Why I EQ and Maybe You Should Too" will walk the audience through why Raija loves this software and why any quilter would be thrilled to own it as well. A trunk show will follow with some of the quilts that have been designed using EQ7.
