Cathy started quilting maybe ten years ago – with Kathy Honeycutt. She worked with Marie Bettencourt and Wanda Daly who invited her to San Lorenzo Adult School. She has always sewed and thought quilting would be lots of fun – but mainly the camaraderie – making new friends.
Dawn Luber told Cathy about Pieced Together Quilters so she joined this term. Yeah Cathy! This is a great group of ladies who welcome one and all.
Some of her other hobbies are mixed media such as fabric, paper and paint - gardening, reading (mysteries) and baking. One of her favorite magazines is Cloth, Paper, Scissors.
Sadly she lost her husband in May last year and two months later she lost Kathy. Cathy has two step-sons and no grandchildren. They are still in college so thank goodness they don’t have kids yet. She has some great nieces and nephews who get her quilts. The youngest will be one in January.
Born and raised in Monterey she moved to the Bay Area in 1989 when her husband, who worked for the FAA, transferred to Oakland International Airport.
A little know fact is Cathy is a perfectionist! It drives her nuts when her points don’t meet – and when she hears “Just wing it” she has a meltdown.
Cathy is a delightful lady who has an infectious smile that draws you into her happy place. She also has a rascal of a doggie named Micky. Thanks Cathy, it was great getting to know you.
