That’s me sewing at my kitchen table. I also painted, cut, planned, and created everything for my shop at that table; sometimes I even took over the kitchen counters.

Piecefully Home, A Note of Thanks
I remember sewing my first pillow when I was about seven years old. A nice woman from our church was babysitting me and instead of leaving me to my own devices, she taught me how to sew.
