Tell us about yourself

I live in Chicago's far western suburbs, where I worked in a wonderful quilt shop for 12 years. I am recently retired, but do teach a class occasionally. I am blessed to have a terrific sewing space in which to create, and my husband is totally supportive of my efforts. These days I am enjoying teaching my granddaughters to sew using fabric from my much-loved stash!
