I am a bit late on this, (behind in my reading because of the state
fair.......... only a few more days to go..... yaaaaah............) Name: Pati Cook Home: Phoenix, Arizona. Born in Tucson, but also lived in California for a few years growing up and 2 years in Cottonwood, AZ. Occupation: Currently working as Superintendent of the Sewing and Crafts department of the AZ State Fair. Other wise self employed as a tailor/seamster/ quilting teacher. Age: 53 Past Lives: Student (didn't quite finish my Master's in Clothing and Textiles, or Adult Ed. But did get my teaching certification, since lapsed, in Home Ec, with minors in Math and Science.) Tutor, mostly math at the nearby Community College. Alterations tailor at several places. Worked a few years at the dog/horse tracks in Tucson as a money runner/cashier. Tried to teach jr.high "Life Skills" for a few years, then moved on to work (eventually as Asst. Mgr) at House of Fabrics/Jo-Ann's. In other words, I have had a lot of different jobs. G Family: DH (about 22 years with this one, #2) Mom in Tucson, also sister, BiL and 2 nephews, plus niece and her son in Tucson. Sister and her family in Penns. and Brother and his family in Virginia. DH's family is mostly here in the Phoenix area, except for his sister and her DH who are in Washington state. Food: Yes. Like most things, allergic to melons/cucumbers/mangos, coffee, a few other things that give me problems occasionly. QI's: We have cats. I am allergic to cats. but they find my hubbie and move in. (Literally) Currently 2-4 depending on who has decided to live inside. G Cloud, and Scardy are pretty much inside. Mandarin (big orange ex-tom) is sometimes in, sometimes out. He comes in the cat door but won't go out it. Muffy is a new momma who moved her kittens into our house at one point (she had them in our backyard) but the people across the street have adopted her, but she keeps coming here........sigh. And Momma Streak drops by occasionally for food and pets. Machine(s): Viking 6460, which mostly lives in the car so is handy for classes and such. Viking #1 which is my "main" machine. Viking Rose which I got as an embroidery machine. Huskylock serger and a White Speedylock. Quilting For: Not sure......... took a hand quilting class about 10 years ago. But I have been sewing forever (since jr high home ec) and some quilting and piecing sort of moved in at times. Quilt assembly preference: Whatever works. I do mostly machine, but the Dear Jane I am doing is mostly by hand. Have never done English pp, and don't plan to because it just doesn't thrill me that much. Love my rotary cutters and tools. Quilt Style Preference: Yes. I like many different styles. So I try many different styles. Colour Preference: Greens, blues, browns/golds, in general most anything but Pink. Dislike pink, but do use it when needed. Posting/Reading frequency: Try to read daily, but not lately. Post when I think I have something to add. Interests other than quilting/fabric fondling/S.E.X.: Reading, cooking, sewing (clothes and such), designing (clothes and quilts), puzzles, some TV. Talking with friends. Embroidery. Pet Peeves: too many to mention At the moment, people who fight change because "we've always done it that way" TV Shows: Depend on my mood, but "Angel", Law and Order (especially SVU) and CSI are favorites. Drive A: '97 Saturn. DH has a beat up 65/68 VW bug. Favorite Quote: Not sure........ probably "Just do it." and "It's only fabric." It is nice to get to know some of you better. Pati, in Phx |
