Lavina always brings her sewing machine to class. Joy laughed and said she is going to get some sewing done or know the reason why. I’ve seen Lavina in action for years……she made aprons for everyone in the world a couple of years ago. I wonder if she was the super achiever in Kathy’s Thursday night class.
She took a class at the San Leandro library in 1977 when she was pregnant with her son. Lavina made the Gingham Dog and the Calico Cat quilt and didn’t quilt again until she joined San Lorenzo Adult School in 1998. (Maybe 1997). She started quilting with her mom after Lavina’s step-father and father passed away –– taking Kathy’’s baby beginner class together.
Ann Seals told Lavina about Pieced Together Quilters. Ann joined last quarter and encouraged Lavina to come because we have so much fun. Even more fun now that Lavina is with us.
There are lots of quilt tops that need to be quilted but Lavina doesn’t know how many she’s made. Needles-to-say it is a bunch.
Her only hobbies are playing with her grandchildren. She has three grandchildren and one on the way. There is boy, girl, boy and there will be an ultrasound for number four November 22, she hopes the baby will cooperate and we can quilt in a specific color.
Lavina grew up in San Leandro but now lives all the way away in Hayward! She did live in Union City for awhile, far away traveler that she is.
She adores all the quilt friends and they come a close second to how much she loves her sisters. There is only one brother who is 16 years younger than she and then another little sister. Lavina is the middle daughter from the first family. There are 20 years between her oldest sister and her youngest.
There are no little know facts about Lavina, she tells everyone her business. Then she turns back to her Janome and sets to finishing her project!
