March 2025 Guild Member Spotlight

Linda joined the Cheshire Quilters’ guild in October of 2024. She wanted to learn more about quilting and different ways to do things. She went to a quilting retreat with her sister Patty last April 2024, and had a good time. She then joined the guild on her own after she went to a meeting with her sister Patty, also she has retired and that gave her the time to try some new things.  

Answer: "I find a lot of my quilt patterns online or at quilt shops, also stuff that my sisters and I do together on our monthly Stitching Day." 

Answer: "I have made some quilts that I have giving to people who were having baby's where I worked. I also make them for family and grandchildren. I keep a lot of them in my cedar chest, also on the back of my couch or chairs. I really don't have much room in my home to be able to display them nicely." 

Answer: "The hardest thing to learn is not to be so picky about how they come out. Points are the hardest for me, I am learning by keep on trying. Practice is the only way to learn and also finding out how others do it. "

Answer: "There is a little story I would like to share. I did not sew for a long time; my sister Sue got me start in 2011 on a rag quilt and I was hooked. The only thing is that rag quilt is about three quarters done. I look at it and say I need to finish that and just go and make other stuff.
Someday I may get it done!"
