Hugs and Stitches quilt - Four Square Fun
I drafted the pattern adapted from a picture in a quilt magazine. Both quilts were machine pieced and quilted. The above quilt was quilted on my Flynn frame with an all over meander. The bottom quilt was quilted in the ditch. They were made for Hugs and Stitches (church group).
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.
