How long have you been quilting?
Since 2009
Who or what inspired you to start quilting?
I started quilting with my grandmother who had Alzheimer's. It started as a way to keep her hands busy so she could be calmer.
Tell us about the first quilt you ever made.
My first quilt was a Yellow Brick Road. I had only done garment sewing before so I prewashed all the fat quarters. It was a mess.
What is your favorite quilt you’ve ever made?
The pattern is a 4-Patch Posie and I made it with Alexander Henry dragon fabric with a 24" repeat. That quilt makes me very happy.
What kind of sewing machine(s) do you have?
My main machine is a Pfaff Performance 5.0 but I'm in love with vintage Viking Husqvarnas from the 70's. I have a 6430, a 6440, and a 6460.
What is your favorite sewing tool or notion?
That's a toss up between my hand turned seam ripper handle or my mini tart pan wrist pin cushion.
What are your favorite colors to use in quilts?
Blue, green, and purple.
