Shortnin' Bread Charm square quilt
The above pillow was made from leftover triangles from the quilt below.
I bought the pattern from a quilt store in Paso Robles last spring (2009). I picked up the charm square packet at another Paso quilt store (my own shop hop!). I finally made the quilt after I bought my new Babylock Espire. I enjoyed trying out new quilting decorative stitches on it.
I was married to Chris for 42 years before he passed away April 20, 2023. I have two beautiful daughters, Michaele and Jessica. Michaele is married to Matt and they have given me two grandsons, Hudson born in 2014 and Jase born in 2016. They reside in Boise, ID. Jessica is married to Clayton and now resides in Richardson, Texas. They have a son, Oliver (2019) and a daughter, Emmaline (2021).
I used to be a registered dietitian, but now am a fulltime homemaker.
I learned to sew in 7th grade. My mother told me she would buy me all the fabric I wanted if I would wear what I sewed. I made most of my clothing thru high school.
I made my first quilt in high school along with other teen girls from my church to give to a missionary. I made my second solo quilt while in college.
I became more interested in quilting after my marriage and have been making several quilts each year since the early 80's.
I am a member of the Chisholm Trail Quilt Guild in Georgetown, TX.
