While snuggling under Gramma Linnie's quilts during those cold Iowa winters long, long ago, I was definitely chomped on by the quilting bug.

Mom had her weekly sewing circle and helped my junior high friends and me make and finish a cross-stitch flowered quilt.  We then graduated to a friendship quilt. When Mele, my oldest daughter, was about to marry Stephen I really took off on the obsessive quilting path.  The journey has led me to make the most amazing friends and to quilt a few quilts along the way.  

After retiring from 32 years with Ma Bell, Daughter Emelia, husband Trevor and brilliant and beautiful granddaughter Talulah showed me the wonders of the central coast. Here in paradise Linda and I became fast friends always laughing till our sides hurt.  Look at us now...In Stitches.

I had spent many years doing all kinds of hand work - from cross stitch to needlepoint - when my daughter, Shannon, suggested it would be fun to learn to quilt.  At first I was a little resistant to cutting up fabric to sew it back together again but in 1998 I jumped in and took a beginning class and I was immediately addicted.  

I began making everything from traditional to art quilts for walls, beds, and tables.  Nothing was spared.  Like some of you, I have a fabric resource (I refuse to call it a stash) that I will never use up.  I know this is something that will be with me the rest of my life.

I moved to Cayucos from Southern California to retire in August of 2005.  My husband, John, suggested I open a quilt store and once I met Debi I knew it could become a reality.  Of course, John now says he was joking at the time but I have the last laugh - I am having the time of my life.
