The words of Sandra Famuliner...

My name is Sandra Famuliner and also go by a nickname of "Crickett"  I became a stay at home mother 24 years ago and sewed alot of clothes for my children.  Once homemade garments had run their course, I was introduced to the wonderful world of quilting.  I have been making quilts for 10 years.  My sewing spot is in our bedroom dormer.  I do leave the ironing board out and it does become a catchall for my ironing pile.

The words of Teresa (Terry) Holt...

Hi Everyone, I am a disabled Nurse of 30 years and started sewing while in High School and started quilting about 2 years ago. I started quilting after being introduced to the Sew Sweet Quilt Shop by a friend, we started sewing together after that and i sew as much as possible now, when i don't have my grandkids. I started sewing in the sewing/computer room  and the dining room table in my house. I don't know if my husband got tired of the sewing stuff laying around or got tired of Donna and i sewing in the dining room sewing all the time. But my lovely husband started building a building near our house last fall and finally told me that this would be the HEN HUT for me and Donna quote unquote the " The Sewing Hut". He built me my own building to quilt in. I have so much storage and room to sew in now that it has become my sancturary IT IS GREAT and I Love the Ladies at Sew Sweet they are the GREATEST!

Thanks Teresa (Terry) Holt.

Barbara Dearing says...

I am a retired special education teacher.  I have sewn for many years but have been quilting the last 12 years. I have sewn in my living room and my computer/spare room but last fall I took over the "back porch" room as my sewing room and I love being able to leave things out and come back to them when I am ready to sew again.

Thanks Barbara Dearing!
