The birth of my first grandchild in 2005 inspired me to get back to the sewing maching after over a 20-year hiatus. I was once very involved with textile science during my early college years, making suits, coats, dresses and ties, but had never quilted before. My friend Jocelyn inspired me to try this art form, as she was creating colorful and beautiful gifts for all her friends. I joined the guild in 2005 and have enjoyed the skills I’ve learned from classes, the camaraderie of a broad section of Kodiak folks, and made a few pretty quilts. We have a strong guild, and I am proud to be a member.

I was inspired by Eleanor Burns' "Quilt in a Day" show. A friend of mine that was a guild member suggested I join the guild to help me learn how to put blocks together and increase my sewing knowledge. And from then on, I was hooked! I have been with the guild since 1996. I enjoy all the varieties of blocks for the most part and the process of finishing a quilt. Although I have many UFO to finish as many of my counterparts. Block of the month and show and tell are my favorite parts of the meetings. Trying out different techniques to improve or learning something new. Slowly I have grown into the role of treasurer with a little prodding from others telling me I could do more for the guild than just be a body at the meetings. I have the privilege of putting on the binding and label for most of our comfort quilts that we give out to the community.
