Cathy Graf
Cathy took Kathy’s baby beginner class twice. She wanted to take it a third time but Kathy wouldn’t let her. She has been quilting for about five years but had wanted to quilt most of her life. She just loves quilts. Sabina Hill, from Tuesday night class at San Lorenzo Adult School, is Cathy’s co-worker. Sabina encouraged Cathy to come to class. She doesn’t like to sew clothes but loves hand embroidery and quilting. However, she does enjoy sewing for Olivia, her granddaughter.
Again, Sabina came through and told Cathy about the evening class at Pieced Together Quilters. She rushed to join us.
Some of Cathy’s other hobbies are baking and gardening. Her family loves it when she bakes for them.
Although she hails from She hails from San Mateo and Fairfield she met her husband at a YMCA dance in San Francisco. He was a handsome Sailor boy and here they are 40 years later. They have two sons and one granddaughter – who will be two in January. They now live in San Leandro – in the Manor.
Cathy is a very private person and is decidedly uncomfortable answering my questions. When Kathy passed away, she felt a huge loss. She would have continued quilting, going to classes at quilt shops but the friends she made in Kathy’s class are irreplaceable.
A little know fact…Cathy has little time to watch TV. She works for Bay Area News Group, works at home, works in the garden and quilts.
