 Ever since I got my first Barbie doll, I sewed my own clothes. I was not as passionate about sewing clothes as I was about buying fabric. Quilting is a perfect fit for me, and now that I've designed my Wild Onion Jacket pattern, I can quilt and sew clothes. If I could figure out how to quilt shoes, I'd be ecstatic! I bought my longarm quilting machine as soon as my youngest child went to school. Actually, the truck delivered the machine the day after he started pre-school. I adore longarm quilting and I'd rather be in my studio than anywhere else, except a fabric shop. Or a shoe store. I live in a small mountain town in California, surrounded by oak trees and horses. My husband and 2 young sons all compete with my fabric for my attention. My longarm quilting machine is a Gammill Optimum; her name is Phoebe. My domestic sewing machine is a Pfaff Tiptronic; her name is Lucille. My car is a mom-mobile; and yes, I named her, too. One last thing: Wild Onion is not just some crazy name I made up! I am a transplanted Chicagoan, and I wanted to honor my hometown. "Wild Onion" is the translation of Chicago. Next time you are in Chicago, be on the lookout, and you'll see lots of onion references!
