Measure Twice, Cut Once
....and other life lessons learned from quilting. Makers have stories! In these casual interviews, my guests talk about the joy, hope, and even healing that can be found in the process of creating something beautiful.
Measure Twice, Cut Once
Shereece Spain - @sewhookedontreasures
Shereece Spain combines her love of sewing, crocheting, and pirates in her business name - such an impressive play on words!
We talk about all these loves, and how they've grown to provide a source of income for Shereece's family, allowing her to stay closely involved in her kids' lives, and to have them involved in her business too. Her upcoming pattern release was in fact inspired by a Shrek marathon with the kids. What's not to love?
Shereece recently designed and donated the pattern for the 2022 Stronger Together quilt along, which raised funds to help underrepresented students earn a college education. This project celebrated Black History month. You can still take part in this fund raiser! Find the pattern at the Fat Quarter Shop. It's FREE, but you'll be offered a chance to donate to this excellent cause.
Clearly, she has a huge heart, plus some great encouragement for finding and expressing your creative side.
