Hosted by Quiltmaker
Over the summer, Quiltmaker hosted a Christmas in July Reader Contest by providing a scavenger hunt where contestants answer questions about sponsors' products. Maureen F. from Colorado answered the questions correctly and was the grand prize winner of a Janome Skyline S5 sewing machine.
Pictured below is Maureen with Marge from The Creative Needle in Littleton, CO, where she picked up her new machine. Maureen was a very happy woman as she passed her Memory Craft 6500P machine to her daughter.
"I have sewn as a young child and later as a teenager, making all of my own coats and dresses. As my children came along, I made clothes for them and turned to quilting in the early 80's. When my daughter was old enough to take up sewing, we made our first quilt together. My experience with quilting has been an ongoing journey; learning new techniques as my interests dictated.
Now that I am retired, I have become more passionate about my quilting "hobby" which has turned into a full-time endeavor with quilting for family, friends and a church charity group.
My grandmother told me "take up sewing and you will never be bored." That is a true fact!" - Maureen
Congratulations Maureen!
