I Wish I Could Do This!

6.21.2010

So, I know there are people out there that say I have a talent with my hands, my needles and a string of yarn.  But I SO wish that I knew how to sew and quilt like this!  Patricia has been sewing since junior high, and not to give away her age, but that's almost FORTY years!  Whoa!  Patricia takes great pride in the quality of her products, and I couldn't imagine nothing less than fantastic from a woman who's been sewing for forty years and learned the craft from her mother.



“As far back as I can remember, my mother sewed, and I believe this contributed to my love for sewing and art. My love for art is a huge part of my life, and it comes through in the care, love, and attention to detail that I put into every piece I create. Of course, I have a special passion for the fabric arts.”


Patricia owns her own home-based sewing and quilting service called Patricia's Sewing Room, in Manteca, CA. Since being laid off from her paralegal job in November of 2008, she has invested more of her time and energies into her business as well as teaching sewing at a local fabric store. She also donates time by machine quilting for "Quilts Of Valor."
LOVE this skirt and am SO probably going to get it for Bella!!

All of Patricia's items are handmade in her sewing studio in a smoke free home. Her home is a one pet home, - a non-shedding Shih Tzu. Patricia is passionate about sewing and quilting and takes great pride and pleasure in her work and projects.

...and this, I've always wanted an apron (not that I bake all that often)...just the thought of having it to wear :)

Patricia is also blessed with three grand children - two girls and one boy and says “my grand children are my life and I enjoy spending time with them.”
 
Patricia has so graciously offered up THIS awesome quilted pajama pillow case cover for this weeks giveaway!!!  I'm in love with this pillowcase (and totally wish I could win it myself for my girls!).  But one lucky entry will win this and I'll just have to be a tad bit jealous...  How to enter??

I checked out "Patricias Sewing Room" and fell in love with the vibrant colors..as well as unique designs. out of all her collection..my eye caught the "Lined Makeup Brush Bag - Yellow with White Dots". It reminds me of something my grandmother once had.
