My Favorite Things...195...PS Rachel Quilts

Day 10 of 16

Rachel Griffith is our next guest, she's another friend of Tula's.  Like Tula and Julie, she's from a new generation of quilters, one of the young'ns.  I am so glad that quilting is an interest that is being passed along from one woman to another and one generation to the next...I first used a sewing machine in Mrs. Schupp's Home Ec class in 8th grade.  She was infinitely patient, and she made me feel like I had a talent for sewing.  I went on to make a majority of my clothes in high school, and I made my first quilt at 17 for my dorm room in college.

Rachel's blog is "PS I QUILT" (isn't that a darling name?)  Rachel received her fabric a little late, but said that she wasn't worried, because she worked well under pressure...we could use a gal like that a LakeHouse!  I am curious to learn where gals  who didn't have Home Ec in school learned to sew & quilt...

I am loving all the different dress quilts! Too cute. I am about to have my 3rd girl, and this is just tickling my fancy.

I did not have home ec at my school, and I learned to sew from my mom, who quickly banned me from the sewing machine for my bad temper. Then, when pregnant with my second, I decided I wanted to be a quilter. So I took a class. That's how I learned!

I love the little dresses that you girls are doing. Wish I had a little girl to make one for but alas, none yet.
I love checking out your blog but don't get back often because of work and family "stuff". (I also have a hard time reading the blog because of the font color...old eyes and all) Keep up the wonderful posts...

I do love the dresses! And I love that your home ec teacher inspired you to keep sewing :)
My mom was a home ec major in college and taught her three girls to sew. I never did take home ec, but now I wish I had. It sounds like fun!
