Rosemary Topie
Debbie von Bokern
I have a new batch of leather masks, having made my first ones in 1989; I am improving on old designs and exploring new ones. I have a lot of new “grand” nieces and nephews and have been making sock babies, critters and monsters. They are soft and funny and great to make in front of the TV.
There are a few wood items left in my repertoire. I taught woodworking at U.C.’s College of Applied Sciences for 20 years. I spend my spare time making and flying kites and am always willing to introduce someone new to kiting.
Pat Statzer
I have been interested in handwork and fibers since I was young. I embroidered preprinted quilt squares when I was in grade school. My grandmother and mother were quilters, always busy putting scraps together and binding the scraps with thread.
Over the years I have experimented with many things from crochet, needlepoint, counted cross stitch to oil painting. In 1991, my mother made a quilt for my brother causing me to go searching for the quilt squares from grade school. They were in the dresser drawer where I left them 40 years ago (my Mother has not changed my bedroom to this day). In the same dresser drawer was my letter sweater and a dried corsage from the prom of 1959. There must be a uilt in all those memories I thought.
I got a couple of quilt books and started cutting fabric and sewing the pieces together by hand (the sewing machine has been sold in a yard sale). I made 148 different squares before I decided which pattern I liked best. Then I went to a couple of quilt shows and classes and started learning new techniques. I find I am more interested in contemporary quilts than traditional ones. My favorites are log cabin and crazy quilts. I love to dye my own textiles and recycle old textiles such as silk ties, and prom dresses. And from the quilt scraps, dolls emerged, so I usually have a doll in the works along with a quilt.
