Who’s Who in Pieced Together Quilters - Dawn Luber

Wanda Daly and Kathy Robrahn told Dawn about Kathy Honeycutt’s quilting class at San Lorenzo Adult School and Dawn told Jenn Schofield.  They all worked at the San Leandro Surgery Center where Dawn is a surgical technician. She started baby beginners in 2006 and finished her sampler quilt the next term. I’d love to see it! She was fascinated by the Reader’s Digest book on sewing arts and has always loved the idea of quilting but thought it was too complicated. So, when she heard about Kathy’s class, she jumped on it.

Married to Bruce Luber for 11 years who is the love of her life. When Kathy Honeycutt requested a spouse to play a colon polyp for the Relay For Life, Bruce showed up in a red costume which looked like an over-stuffed Hershey’s Kiss. He had five stars on his sleeve and announced he was “General” colon polyp. What a funny guy. You may recall her adorable daughter, Sarah, who joined us a few times. Sarah is eight years old and is a budding quilter.

She grew up in Mountain View and then moved to Newark which is still her family home. After her mother has passed away, Dawn took over cooking for her father and brother. Dawn lives in Oakland and commutes daily to Newark to deliver the “Meals On Wheels” for the men-folk.

She attended California Culinary Academy and was a pastry chef for the Marriott Corporation. You should taste her chocolate cake!!! It is triple chocolate cake with chocolate chips and chocolate frosting!!!!!!!!!!!! She brought it to a pot-luck once and I died of chocolate overdose.

Dawn once belonged to Stage One Community Theater in Newark and was in Play It Again Sam and had monologues in other plays. Her two-year stint served her well as the fun-loving girl, we know, who isn’t afraid to speak her mind. She was part of the Intercollegiate Public Speaking Team for Chabot College and won a gold medal in persuasive speaking for Dangers of Deregulation of the Trucking Industry. Way to go Dawn!
