Teacher, well I have taught elementary, preschool and now am retired university faculty who teaches part-time as needed. I have known that teaching was my passion since early elementary school and although I have had the grand opportunity to teach different age groups, each has fed my passion and given me great joy. I learned to sew at about age 6 sitting up to my mother's machine on a pile of Sears and Roebuck catalogues. Never looked back. For a span of time I supported my children's music lessons and sports needs by sewing for a company. My sister-in-law was a master quilter and when she passed, her mantle of quilting fell on me when I took all of her stash, tools, books and "stuff" twenty years ago. Many, many quilts late I find myself making the difficult choice between grading student work online or quilting and playing with fabric and colors. Quilting often wins, then I have to play catch up with my students.
Two passions require balance.
