ELAINE’S BIO
I embarked on my adventures in sewing at the age of 12. My mother was an accomplished seamstress and knitter who inspired me to follow her example. I cut my sewing teeth on McCall’s “Winnie the Pooh” stuffed animals’ pattern, which I continued to revisit for many years, even as I branched out into garments, quilts and other crafts. I earned my college degree in Art Education from the University of Washington in Seattle.During my subsequent homemaker/motherhood years I continued sewing clothing, soft toys and cloth dolls for my children, their friends, and many local craft boutiques. In 2008, with children grown, I began working for a local sewing center in Folsom, CA, and quickly became an avid (rabid?) quilter. Soon I was sharing my knowledge through teaching adult sewing and other classes.
