5. Have you ever received a quilt as a gift? If so, please share a bit about the experience.
I received a quilt as a birthday gift. It hung proudly in my bedroom. The quilt burned in the Camp Fire. The giver of the quilt will never make another one for me. It was Kelly.

6. What type of quilting do you most enjoy?
I most enjoy sewing little pieces of fabric together.
7. We would love to include some personal details about you (anything you'd like to share) such as your profession, interests outside of quilting, future plans, etc.
My grandmother taught me to hand sew doll clothes at age five. I began taking sewing classes in the seventh grade and continue to this day. I earned a Dressmaker's Certificate in the early 1980's and am proficient in hand tailoring. I also knit, crochet, embroider and do needlepoint. I believe that I come from a long line of washerwomen as I enjoy doing laundry and ironing. Sometimes I just go into my sewing room and refold my fabric stash.

Kelly and I have worked on quilts for the Yankee Hill Fire Safe Council and for family members and friends.

I have learned the finer points of quilting from Kelly. While we started at the same time, Kelly has embraced quilting while I am still a dabbler.

10. What is a quilting skill you admire in your daughter/mother?
I admire Kelly's ability to create original designs.
11. If you give your daughter/mother advice, do they take it?
Yes, we accept each other's advice.
