- About Me
- I started quilting in 1994. Winters in Alaska are cold and dark, so quilting brought much needed color and purpose to my life. I'm usually outside in the summer - gardening, fishing, and just enjoying the beautiful landscape. I'm married (29 yrs) to a wonderful man - a construction worker/hunter/fisherman which, in Alaska, means he's away from home a good bit. Quilting is a good fill-in for those times. I have a grown son, 3 grown step-children, and 5 grandchildren, all of whom have quilts. :-) I prefer to stick to one quilt project at a time, but often have the next one in the design stage before I've finished the current project.

.My brother had lived there several years(kenai) He sold his home now and they will live in a cabin up by Denali in summer and in Thomasville,Georgia in winter. The blocks are the Sylvia's bridal sampler blocks. There are 232 people signed in for them. I have 20 out of 140 done. I am a little behind.
Thanks for writing. I did doll clothes years ago at craft shows/festivals. Sometimes I was successful, sometimes I didn't even break even with the booth fee. This time around, I've set up a legitimate business with the state and am selling by private orders and also bringing my things to merchants on a commission basis. Right now, several places have my items. I am waiting anxiously for that first check to come in!
Hope you can get some good ideas and plans together from our business group. Let us know how you're doing!
A friend from here whom I met this summer on an Alaskan Cruise she took that put her across the river from me in Copper Center at a princess hotel told me about this group and I see you are the only one so far that actually lives here besides myself now. I read your info and your life sounds a lot like mine. I see from you photos that you are quite the accomplished quilter and I can really appreciate that! Do you have a long arm? I quilt alot of my smaller stuff and plan to tackle a lap size soon but I don't have a long arm. Our local long arm quilter is leaving the state and we are quite sad about that. I would love to have a set up but would love to go to a quilt show somewhere and try them before making big investment...ah well. Nice to 'meet' you. The gal I met, Deborah Calyo' became a friend on this site and then we met when she came up on a cruise so I posted that on my site and also on Hearts & Faces group.
