The term circuit refers to an early American Methodist plan of multiple-meeting places called circuits requiring an itinerating force of preachers. The circuit preachers of long ago traveled light, carrying their belongings and books in saddlebags. Ranging far and wide through villages and wilderness, they preached daily or more often at any site available.
The GSQA "Circuit Teacher Program" is an innovative way of using the unique talents and skills represented among the members of GSQA quilters. These outstanding quilters and the classes they will teach are selected by the GSQA Board, Information is offered to the member guilds in April each year.
Each member guild has the opportunity to select an approved circuit teacher to come to their area to teach the class. There is a nominal fee for each student. It is an economical and exciting way to share techniques, skills, and knowledge among the GSQA membership.
If your guild is interested in having a circuit teacher come to your area, simple email GSQA and request the class to Linda Pourciau
