Contest answers:
1. If we were walking down a street, how would I/we identify you?
I have shining bright white hair!
2. How did you come by your screen name?
Because of my Etsy shop and sewing for sale, I called myself SewBizGirl.
3. What was the source of your “real” name?
My mother was very moved by the movie, Gone With the Wind. She named me Bonnie Ellen, after Rhett and Scarlett's daughter Bonnie Blue, and Scarlet's mother, Miss Ellen. (Cant help but roll my eyes at this.)
4. What was your first quilt? I think my first quilt was a panel of a bunny that I made for my new baby daughter. Pictures if you have one. No pictures, sorry.
5. What is or was your oldest UFO? I had a wall quilt started, spools in bright Amish colors on a black background. I was hand quilting it, but the fabric and batting were so heavy that it was really a chore to quilt! I schlepped that thing around forever, thinking one day I'd finish it. It is such a relief to have finally gotten rid of it (donated).
6. What is the source of the song, “Getting to Know You, Getting to Know All About You?” In The King and I movie, Mrs. Anna sang it to her new Siamese students. My mother loved that movie, so I grew up watching it.
