Anecdotal evaluation comments:
- It was so much fun to bring a personal item and have him share ways to preserve it.
- I wish I had brought a few things to ask him about.
- I learned so much!
- I never thought of that as a way to preserve my quilt.
- I want to go right home and mount the Irish lace pieces (that my grandma made) in a frame, so I can show it off, but also protect it from deterioration! (That was me – Nanci)
- I liked how he wanted to hear the “story” behind each piece that we brought with us.
- He sure knows his stuff!
