Meet Cindy
  “I have been sewing since I was 5 years old. Taught by my Great Grandma. Became a serious quilter about 7years ago taught by my dear friend. Art quilts have become one of my favorite things to fill my time.  It allows me to be very creative and use so many of my God given talent.  It comes very natural for me.  I am married and have two grown boys and a daughter in law and two great little grandsons.  We live in Jamestown and have been here all my life.  Very active with a cycling club here and do a great deal of kayaking.  Work for Jan Shoup at Quilters Haven in Jamestown and clean houses.  Never bored, life is to short for that

Supplies:  A photo of something you would like to do with fabric. The photo needs to be made to a size you would like on regular paper( an 11 x 17 ) is the ideal size. Photo copies made at Office Max or Staples works best, color and at least 2 copies.Fabrics to create your photo, backgrounds work best if you use batiks or hand dyed.
