Hello, my name is Kathryn. I have a passion for sewing pretty much anything except wedding/formal wear. I also am passionate about collecting anything to do with strawberries. I have 9 grandkids and 9 greats (kids start too early). I have always made blankets but have just recently started formally quilting. Never used patterns or the machine to quilt before so everything about it is fairly new. My other sewing experience, 35 years and 2 years in a college sewing program, I am sure will help me get through but I will probably be asking many questions. Thanks a bunch.
