QUILTING FAVES AND NOT-SO-FAVES
What is your favorite quilt make of all time?
Tricky question. They all appeal for different reasons. But I think the bird baby quilt is up there. My daughter asked me to make it for her niece. She chose the design and I worked the pattern out myself and paper pieced the birds. (Wish I’d known about freezer paper piecing then).

What are your favorite parts of quilting?
Choosing a color palette and fabrics.

LEARNING TO MAKE MODERN TRIANGLES
When you joined Make Modern Triangles, what did you want to learn or accomplish?
I had done a little bit of paper piecing. This seemed like a much more effective method and I wanted to try it. I haven’t been disappointed. Using triangles really appealed too. I wanted to create more modern designs.

INSPIRATION
What has quilting taught you about yourself? It has taught me that I love sewing and have a good colour sense.
What is your next quilting project?
I am just starting a flannel bargello quilt for a friend. She has asked me to make it for her mother who is in her 90s. I have already made a couple of these but they are fun to make, so I am looking forward to seeing how this one turns out.

Stephanie’s (GROWING) STASH AND SEWING SPACE
Describe your sewing stash.
Growing…and growing: I’m a serious collector and started adding fabrics to round out my color and print selections.
Describe your sewing space and what you like about it.
I converted my spare bedroom into my sewing space when I retired. Best room in the house!! It isn’t huge, but works well. I love that it gets great light and winter sun so is perfect.
