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
Joan Parker - A Quilting Memoir
As we talk, Joan Parker's face shines with warmth and enthusiasm and hospitality. She has been making (many!) quilts for many years, all while raising and home-schooling 8 children. Her story is one of great creativity, often propelled by financial needs, and the desire to serve and help others. She has a mother-heart the size of her whole state.
PLUS, she's got some great tips for a bullet journal to corral your project to-do list, and some thoughts on creating frugally and finding ways to learn anything you want to know how to do.
