Linda started in Kathy’s class in 1988 – first as a baby beginner in Thursday evening then switching to Tuesday evening. Her best friend and she had been involved in lots of crafts, and they joined the quilt class together. Dolores Bjornson and Linda arraigned flowers, embroidered and sewed together until Dolores moved to Pioneer California. Every now and then they get together and Dolores sends Linda back with quilts to take to the quilter. (Faye Collinsworth in San Ramon).
As an original Californian, Linda was born and raised in the East Bay and moved from Hayward all the way Castro Valley!!!!! She began work right out of High School and has been with the same job 46 years. Linda looks much younger than her biological years (we won’t even say how much) but she looks great at any age. She has two sons and two grandsons. Linda is the ONLY girl in her family! The little boys are 2 ½ and 3 ½ - with each son having one son.
Kristy Hanson told us all about Pieced Together Quilters and thank goodness we still have our Tuesday night group! Plus more ladies than we even knew. We rarely socialize outside of our quilt night so having another opportunity to come together in friendship was our salvation.
Linda still has a passion for reading, mostly mysteries and she loves gardening. But her greatest love is quilting and getting together with Pieced Together Quilters.
A little know fact is Linda was born a twin and sadly lost her brother two years ago. It was a huge shock to her mom, who was only 5 feet 2 inches and only discovered she was having twins when they came into the world.
