Before that\, I had been making my own clothes since 6th grade. I sta rted out sewing with my mother and seeing how she used patterns when sewin g clothing. I began designing my own clothes and altering existing patter ns when I was in 6th grade. My mother would help me sew out my creations. By 11th grade\, I was making my prom dresses from my own designs and dra wing my own patterns. I made cheerleading camp uniforms and song leader p inafores for my cheer teams. We didn’t want to ask one of the moms to m ake them all and I had ideas for the original designs I wanted. When I wa s a senior in high school\, I got a job in the fabric department at TG&Y\, and that is where I found my first quilt pattern. \nBoth of my grandmot hers were very good seamstresses also and both quilted. My whole life I w as surrounded by quilts. Even the blanket I took to preschool for naps wa s a quilt that had been made for my mom when she was a child. I learned a lot from both of my Grandmothers. They each had fabric around that I was free to create with. I learned to sew on a treadle machine at one grandm other’s house\, and learned a lot of hand sewing techniques\, and how to make draperies from the other grandmother. \nI have an AA in both Fashion Merchandising and Home Economics from Fullerton College\, which at the ti me the Fashion Merchandising program was equivalent to the Fashion Institu te in Los Angeles. The course requirements included designing\, pattern d rafting\, and draping as well as construction. I have a BS in Home Econom ics with my emphasis in Fashion Merchandising. I have drafted patterns an d sewn for a designer\, but never had the financial backing to start my ow n label but I have always continued to sew for myself and my family. \nW hen my brother and his wife started having children\, I made each child a flannel rag quilt\, and I think that is when I caught the bug. I started making flannel rag quilts for Halloween and Christmas with designs I made up for my daughter and me. \nI designed and made several figure skating dr esses for my daughter\, a huge t-shirt like quilt\, but out of my daughter ’s sweatshirts from eleven years of skating competitions. I did not lay er or quilt it because the sweatshirt fabric was heavy enough. \nNot too l ong after that\, I started enjoying going to quilt shows and the Quilt\, C raft\, and Sewing show every year. I would get inspired\, and start purch asing patterns\, and fabrics. Since I have been retired (almost 8 Years) quilting keeps me out of trouble. I love having projects to do. I want t o feel purposeful. My closet is full\, so making clothes for myself isn’ t necessary\, so I sew quilts. I don’t stick to one style\, I love lear ning new techniques. My quilts don’t really look like they belong to a collection\, they are more individual\, and what I wanted to make or learn at a time or I just thought was cute. I have over 20 project boxes full of fabric and the patterns for future quilts\, two Judy Neimeyer kits\, tw o more of her patterns and some fabric to go with them\, at least five pro jects in process\, and lots more ideas in my head. I keep buying fabric b ecause I believe I have to live long enough to finish everything. \nBe su re to see Jennifer’s quilt display at the BBQ Quilt Show on September 25 and 26\, 2026.
