The Wooden Bear

I’ve been doing various crafts, sewing and sketching throughout my whole life, thanks to my mom (who loves ya’ baby!) She always dabbled in all kinds of crafts and always let me join in the fun. My dad does incredible woodworking and carving.  My grandparents (Bear and Rosalie) did oil painting, photography, cake decorating, quilting, woodworking…the list goes on and on.  Creativity has always been in my life. I didn’t actually try quilting until the end of 2000. My husband’s grandmother, Maryon (middle in the picture below), sent my son an adorable quilt she made with pieced squares and cookie cutters to make appliqué shapes. I thought, “I can do this!” So, without any previous instruction, I dove right in, had some success and was immediately hooked!
