WHAT’S SOMETHING YOU WISH YOU

KNEW WHEN YOU FIRST STARTED SEWING?

I WISH I KNEW THEN THAT IT’S MORE

IMPORTANT TO sew i e

THAN IT IS TO SEW WHAT IS POPULAR.

What’s your favorite thing

about quilting?

The fabric! I’m absolutely crazy

about fabric.

When designing patterns or

fabric, I am inspired by...

Vintage styles from the

1930s–1950s. I’m in love with

that era. It’s classy, colorful,

and full of brilliant design.

What’s the best gift you

ever received?

My sewing machine. It was a

gift from my parents, and it

makes all of this possible.

Do you make gifts for others?

I love making pouches and pillows

for gifts. You can customize them

depending on the fabric you use.

Do you have any irrational fears?

I loathe centipedes with every fi ber

of my being.

What’s something people might

be surprised to learn about you?

I love to sing. I’ve been singing,

both solo and with church worship

bands, since I was young.

What’s your guilty pleasure?

Ice cream and fabric. But

mostly ice cream.
