Mystery Quilt Sweet Violet
ur Very own Mystery Quilt Contestant is Cathie Scanlon.
This is the 2nd year that Cathie has participated in the contest and she loves to Quilt.
Cathie’s mother taught her to sew and her dolls were all in fashion with her outfits.
When she became a Mom, she continued to sew clothes for her son much to his chagrin.
He blessed her with four granddaughters, and she is loves making new outfits each year for
Their birthdays… It is easier to sew clothes for Girls.
When Cathie retired in 2012 she knew that she wanted to be a Quilter – and that she wanted to sew for Charity. She believes that Quilts should be used, not just displayed on a wall or stashed in a cupboard.
She has a part time job at Karen’s Quilts in Sequim and really enjoys the interaction with new quilters.
She says it is thrilling to see beginners making progress and learn the art of quilting. Talking to many that come in she finds that Quilting really goes hand in hand with Gardening and sometimes there is a debate of what comes first… specially when the weather is really nice. She also admits to having several quilts in progress at one time.
While working on the Mystery Quilt she was also working on a sew along Quilt called “I am Enough”. Each block was about oneself and “What I do is Good Enough”
Cathie and her Husband have been married for 45 years, have 1 son, 6 grandchildren and 2 cats. They moved here from California in 2012 and continue to enjoy hiking and traveling in their Motor Home.
When she lived in California, she did volunteered work thru the police department… giving gifts at Christmas Time and participating with the Bike Give Away to foster Kids. There wasn’t a Project Linus Chapter in her area.
Cathie’s final words to quote about Quilting “Don’t worry about the Result (Artistic Touch) Just enjoy the Process”
