Q-What is your favorite thing about your sewing room?
A- The windows, I have windows on two sides of the room and the light in the morning (all day really but morning is my favorite) is amazing!

Morning sun creeping its way into the sewing room...

Q-Where did your interest in Quilting begin?

A- I always loved creating. I am fortunate to have been raising around women who quilt in varying capacities and talents, quilt bees were a reality growing up. I love creating something beautiful and useful.

Q- What is something in your sewing room that you could not live without?

A- My hand-me-down Bernina! I just loooooove her!

Q- What is your most annoying thing about your sewing room?

A- Right now, it is soooo disorganized! it makes me crazy... I need to work on that!

Q- Share with us a useful tip that you use in your sewing room.

A- I use leg risers under my cutting table, saves my back big time!

I suppose I could have dusted that.. sigh!

Q- Do you have a favorite sewing room snack?

A- Popcorn, I pop a big bowl and munch on it while I sew. Its delish with a diet pepsi and a bit of dark chocolate... thats a complete meal... right? 

I like to air pop and add a little butter and honey, or just butter, or coconut oil and salt.

Q- What is the current project you are working on?

A- Right now I am trying to finish up the blocks Jeanene taught last summer.

Scrappy Style!

Q-Give us a little background, where are you from? how long have you been quilting? What do you enjoy the most about quilting? etc.

A- I was born and raised on a dairy farm just outside of Delta Utah. I have been quilting on my own for 25 years..or so. I love the creativity of quilting, I love color and learning new techniques. My quilts have evolved over the years and so have I, I suppose! 

Here are a few of my favorite things in my sewing room-

A little vintage find from the Country Living Fair in Rheinbeck NY last year...

I can't think of a better place for stacking dolls than in the sewing room!

This rescued vintage dresser was left behind at one of our rentals headed for the dump... I think NOT!

Thanks for visiting! .... If you want me to come visit your sewing room let me know, otherwise you might be getting a call from me !
