My sewing desk because my husband made it for me, I will keep it until my dying day!

My sewing room is in the basement and when I am down here working I can’t hear the door bell ring upstairs.

3.     What thing in your sewing room could you not live without?

Again, I would have to say my sewing table! I am just so grateful to not have to sew on the kitchen table anymore!

I am from Cache Valley- Yes and No… My grandmother would make quilts out of old dresses and I remember mother tying a few.

Ora and a few friends got me into it. I have always been a sewer. I used to sew clothes for my children… from their underwear on up J

25- 30 years, I did make each of my children a quilt before they got married.

9.     What is your favorite sewing room snack?

I don’t really snack while I’m sewing…. Just water, I get really thirsty when I sew.

Tell us something that might surprise us…

I was raised on a farm, I used to milk cows and plow fields. I was raised a tom boy, my two brothers weren’t around to help out. One was on a mission for the LDS church and the other was in the Navy. My Father was Bishop at the time so I had to help out where I could with the farm work.

I have 4 children, 3 girls and 1 boy. I have 12 grandchildren and 3 greats!!

I graduated from South Cache High School in 1959. Later I met my husband at the Terrace in SLC, which is a dance club. We got married and that’s how I ended up in Grantsville. 

Carolyn let me wander around her house and take pictures of her cute quilts! ... My goodness they are everywhere!!

THANK YOU Carolyn!!! What a treat!!
