4. Is there something distinctive about your quilting style? I am definitely not a perfectionist! I don't want my quilts to look like they came from a factory. I like to add a sizzle, like a little yellow or a surprise border or binding.
5. What is your earliest quilting memory? My grandmother, Lelia Palmer gave me her fabric scraps and showed me how to piece them onto a diamond pattern made from newspaper. It took 6 diamonds to make a star block. I spent one summer happily sewing away at her old singer sewing machine and made enough blocks to make a quilt. I was so proud of that quilt.

9. My favorite quilt I ever made was _____. I have several that are precious to me. Probably because of the difficulty or time involved and others because they were made in a class (guild challenges) or together with friends and the memories are cherished. One that I would grab and take if there was a fire is my cathedral window quilt. Fern Palmer taught me how to make it. She and I loved each other since we had a mini car crash when I was sixteen and ran into each other. I loved making the sunbonnet sue quilts we made in guild, with all the lace and embellishments. It was like playing paper dolls; they turned out so cute.
