completely fallen in love with that process. Erica makes both paper and PDF
patterns and are available at shop.kitchentablequilting.com. You can follow along with
her projects and progress on her blog or on Instagram!
1. What was your first sewing project?
I started sewing nine
years ago when I was pregnant with my second child. My husband worked long
hours, so I decided that I would buy a sewing machine and teach myself to make
some simple baby items. Three months later, I made my first quilt and I have
been hooked ever since.
2. What other hobbies do you enjoy?
There are other hobbies?
At this point in my life, I feel lucky to just have time to sew. I do enjoy
listening to audiobooks and playing the piano when I can squeeze them in.
3. What is your favorite color?
I love light, purple-y
grays and cobalt blue.
4. Where is your dream vacation?
The Faroe Islands
5. Who taught you how to sew?
My mom never really
enjoyed sewing, but she tried to teach me when I was a teenager. When I finally
decided that I wanted to learn, my mother-in-law taught me a few things but I
am mostly self-taught.
6. What food could you eat everyday?
I should probably say
something healthy here, but the honest answer is pizza.
7. What do you want to be doing in five years?
I hope that I continue
to challenge myself creatively and that I am continuing to write patterns that
are fun and accessible to quilters of all skill levels. I also hope that after
some diligent work, I am able to get my scraps under control sometime in the
next 5 years!
