How did YOU get interested in quilting?
I've been a seamstress all my life. I remember sticking my finger with the needle on my grandmother's treadle machine when I was a little girl about 6 years old and my mom laughing because, though I cried heavily, the needle didn't even break the skin. I also remember threading needles for my grandmother because she struggled to see the needle eye. Both my mother, Ellen, and grandmother, Volcie, were quilters. I was close to both before their deaths, and they influenced all aspects of my life but especially my sewing and quilting. I think about them often when I am quilting and feel the connection to their lives.
Where do you get inspiration?
Inspiration comes from everything--stained glass windows in church, tile patterns on a bathroom floor, flowers, shapes, vintage quilts, photos, magazines--anything can inspire and everything is up for grabs.
Why do you blog? What is your process?
I enjoy writing and took some writing classes in college, long before blogging came along. I like the immediacy of blogging. As I finish an article, I publish it. Simple.
What charity efforts, teaching events, retreats, cruises, etc.do you participate in?
I am in the Cotton Quilter's Guild and participate in the charity efforts. As a teacher I given presentations at our guild meeting and have recently agreed to write a course for QuiltCampus, an online quilt source.
What other personal information would you like to share?
I have a wonderful family, enjoy quilting and sewing, and am blessed with many, many positives in my life--God, my family, friends and the most wonderful husband any wife could ask for.
