Sabina has been quilting 25 years. Her mother-in-law was a quilter and when they visited her in Virginia, Sabina would watch her piece using tissue paper for her patterns. She first took a class with Linda Cumming 1986 and Kathy Honeycutt in 1987. Such a long time knowing and loving Kathy. She took her baby beginner class and just like me – never finished the sampler. She still has the blocks – blue and peach – that could work out now!!!!
Merle Hill was a handsome sailor whom Sabina saw from a distance and said “That’s for me!” They have been married 41 years this September. They dated for almost a year and had a non-denominational wedding blessed by the church several years later. (She is Irish Catholic from WAY back). They have two beautiful daughters, Jennifer and Michelle. They gave her three beautiful grandchildren – so far. The little girl child was born in November to Michelle. Jennifer has two wonderful boys. Benjamin was the first boy and Sabina was thrilled to finally have her little man! Elijah is the middle boy.
Kristy Hanson was the lady who brought all the Tuesday night class to Pieced Together Quilters - assisting Joy with forming our evening class. That was how Sabina and I learned about this wonderful group. We love coming to Thursday evening with all our old friends and new sisters.
She grew up in Oakland and now lives in San Lorenzo!!!
Sabina always wanted to be an Ice Skater (princess on ice). California isn’t one of the word hubs of figure skating, but that didn’t stop Sabina from dreaming. Her other hobbies are reading but she mainly just loves the grandkids. She works for the Bay Area News Group as a supervisor in the circulation department.
Editor’s note:
Sabina was one of the first ladies who welcomed me into the clique at San Lorenzo Adult School. She was the first quilt lady to give me a present. It was a yard of newspaper headlines about a quilter’s husband who was buried under her stash. I have loved Sabina since I began quilting.
