Learned to sew from my late Mom on her '47 Featherweight, making doll clothes in the 1950's. Fast forward to 1969 and just after 2nd son was born, got a Singer Stylist. Fast forward to 80's: our local College Club made an appliqued raffle quilt for scholarship; after a few years, the lead girls burned out; I figured how hard could it be to put two pieces (squares) of material together. Voila! been quilting ever since - over 20 years now and finally making something for me on both the Featherweight and Stylist!!! Quilting has been therapy for me before and after the losses of friends/family; and has put me in touch with some remarkable people! Quilters are a special breed.
