The Chauffeur can sew!
I have two customers who always come to the studio
together. They drop off and pick up
their quilts as a pair. The daughter of
one has driven them here since the beginning.
I can’t even tell you how long I have quilted for them. The daughter is cheerful and works at
McDonalds. They come around her
schedule. She always has treats for the
animals and she occasionally has an opinion about the pattern or the thread
color her mother chooses for her various quilts.

Last week they came to drop off the two quilts that are on
my schedule for this week and the daughter is very excited because not only is
this quilt her quilt, but she has pieced it as well. All input for thread and pattern is hers alone.

Ann was worried I would reject her quilt because it was not perfect
and she knew it and she would understand if I said I could not quilt it. I laughed.
I can quilt just about anything, so there won’t be a problem there. Happy with my answer, she chose her pattern and thread choices and turned to call Toby and Eubha to come get their treats.
Ann’s first quilt is quite nice and I’m sure she will be
pleased with the results. I know I am.
This is so nice. I wonder if she's hooked, now she has a stash started. And, that sewing surely passes my inspection. You wouldn't catch me trying those little triangley things.
ReplyDeleteLovely things quilts hope she keeps going, I love the feel of them. When they are old they feel even better, softer.

I'm sorry I had to scroll past that one very quickly, it was jarring to the eyes. But it's truly wonderful to hear of younger people picking up the quilting bug.
