Although Maggie has been sewing since she was two years old, she began quilting with Kathy Honeycutt in 2004, with Diana Johnson, Sheryl (Diana’s sister ) and Cheryl (Maggie’s sister). Her sister encouraged her to join but she had no idea what she was doing. After finishing the Baby Beginner class, Maggie and company stayed in the Thursday night class.
The girls found about about Pieced Together Quilters from Diana and Alice Vesterfield and her sister Diana. Maggie joined the evening class when Joy finally found a place and time for that earlier this year.
She likes to garden but is not hot on cooking. Diana and Cheryl call Maggie the cat whisperer. She has four kitties in the house and four outside. One of her outdoor kitties had 24 kittens before Maggie could get her spayed. She trapped and fostered and found homes for all those kitties.
Maggie and her sister and brother grew up in Alameda and she now lives in San Leandro. She has one son and no grandchildren. Fortunately she has lots of nieces and nephews and a great niece and two great nephews.
She sews on BART and entertains all the other passengers. A little known fact: she keeps her friends laughing and that’s the only reason they keep her around.
Maggie loves the ladies in the quilt group and loves the creativity she shares with her friends.
