Grandma started me on the old treadle machine when I was 10, believe it or not we would use cattail fuzz as batting. As a young teen she helped me to finish my great grandmothers quilt. I had to lean applique & make 4 squares of a Sun Bonnet Girl with a garden basket. Yes, we used cereal box carboard & learned needle turning, along with embroidery. I cherish the quilt to this day & can still pick
the four squares I made. In " 2006" I started my own store, retired in "2022", moved to Texas from Montana. Now enjoy finishing my quilts, making custom quilts for folks, love to make amazing T-Shirt quilts, repairing damaged quilts old or new, finishing old quilts for folks & long-arming. My quilt "cave" looks out onto the canal that flows into the Gulf Coast & I love watching for gators & turtles while working, in the evening, I can listen to the singing frogs. My favorites quilts to make are Stars, Miniatures, Scrappy & T-Shirt for those avid shirt collectors. Next, I would love to add teaching classes, something I enjoyed doing in my store.
