MARCH SPEAKER
Judy Scollay
Having grown up in a sewing family, where my mother made all my clothes, and a grandmother, who was a crafter, I came by sewing naturally. However, I came into quilting quite by accident. I was trying to find a gift for a baby shower that was not the "typical" clothing, etc. I found a pattern for a cute baby quilt and thought, "I could do that. ”So, really, I taught myself. I had so much fun and I started taking classes. However, raising 3 kids did not give me lots of time to "play" at this new love.
Fortunately, at about this time, we moved to Fair Oaks and my neighbor was a quilter. I was then introduced to quilt guilds and found lots of inspiration from these meetings. I love finding new tools and trying all kinds of new techniques.

I'm always looking for new challenges!
