1. How did you get started in quilting?

I worked with Joanne Foust at Hearts & Flowers, little gift shop.  She and Catherine Lewis and Sharon Knoop invited me to one of the quilt guild meetings many years ago.

2. What accomplishments are you most proud of?

I have won a few ribbons at the Kaleidoscope Quit Show.  And each project that I do looks a little bit better than the last.

3. Have you ever put one of your quilted pieces in a quilt show?

Yes – Kaleidoscope Quilt Show and our own guild quilt show.

4. Finish these sentences:
• I still can’t get the hang of . .

Being very good at hand quilting

• The biggest enemy of creativity is . .

Finding time to get from point A to point B

5. What was your worst quilting disaster?

Years ago the guilt guild members made a quilt that was made up of Biblical blocks.  They were machined pieced and the center of the quilt was a Tree of Life.  My blocks just did NOT fit well together, but I did finish it and it turned out okay.  I think there are some who have never finished their quilt.

6. Which quilter’s work do you most admire and why?

Pat Mensing – she is such an inspiration.  She accomplishes so much. She just dazzles me each month with what she has accomplished.

7. What creative endeavor do you plan to learn next?

Machine quilting – this is something I have always wanted to do.

8. What advice would you give to someone starting out in quilting?

Take a beginner class and learn all the basics from someone good.  Find someone to mentor you and have them take you under their wing.
