I am a little slow getting our monthly spotlight out... sorry, Where did August go... did anyone see it leave?
Our spotlight this month is on Fran Dixon. Fran has been quilting for about 20 years, but sewing since she was about 10 years old. She has always been fascinated with quilts. After Fran retired, she happen to take a class and the rest is history.
Fran says she doesn't have the patience for mini quilts and prefers larger quilts with traditional patterns.
Fran was a stay at home mom for a lot of years, then got a job in an office and was a legal secretary at a large prominent law firm in Alaska. She had four children. Carla, Paula, Lynnette and Greg. As many of you know, Greg passed away in 2013. She has 10 grandchildren. Fran is originally from Maine, but spent the last 35 years before moving to Carson, Iowa in Alaska.
Fran enjoys sewing with groups in Council Bluffs, Quilts from the Bluffs. They are a charity group. She is largely responsible for the quilting group that meets in Oakland every other Thursday at Fellowship of Faith church.
Crocheting, embroidery, and reading are her other hobbies. I also know that she is a wonderful long arm quilter.
When asked how big is your stash.... she just says too BIG!!!! I can attest to that... well not toooooo big, but big.
I blush. Is that me?
