Getting to know … VAL LAIRD

Since I made that terrible skirt in the sewing class at school – it never did fit! Thankfully, the desire to create with fabric didn’t disappear, and under my mother’s expert tutelage, I learned how to sew seams that were straight, make garments that actually fitted, create a wedding dress or two and decorate my home with beautiful curtains and cushions. Come retirement 12 years ago, and I discovered patchwork and quilting, and that’s when the creative juices really began to flow.
