Student Quilts

My mother, EMILY COOKE, was my first sewing instructor, and eventually became one of my first quilting students. We have attended many quilting getaways together.

She is a multi-talented craft artist, who also decorates blouses and t-shirts and creates silk floral arrangements when she is not baking or decorating cakes, etc.

Here are some photos of her with my Dad and some of her quilts on display at the Southwest Focal Point Center and the Hollybrook Golf & Tennis Club in Pembroke Pines, Florida. You may enlarge the photos by clicking on them.

SPOOLIN’ AROUND

“The Thread That Runs So True” in my life has always been sewing. My earliest memories include watching my mother and grandmothers stitching clothes for my three sisters and me. I can remember collecting the scraps to make doll’s clothes, or just to put them into my “stash”. The stash filled a box under my bed for many years until the summer of my senior year in High School, when I cut all the scraps into hexagons for a quilt (still a “Work-In-Progress” twenty-something years later). I completed my first quilt the year after I earned a B.S. degree in Clothing and Textiles.

I have been involved in quilting for twenty-one years, including teaching, judging, serving in Quilt groups, quilting-for-hire and hosting quilters’ retreats. I find great joy in selecting fabrics and working out the puzzles of construction, and I especially enjoy sharing my hobby with others.

I hope to be “spoolin’ around” for a long time to come.
