\t\t\t\t<\/span><\/span>Pamela Allen, Kingston, ON, Canada<\/span>
Website<\/span><\/a>\n\nPamela will be teaching four one day classes Fantastic Fabric Faces, Under the Influence, Art by the Half Dozen<\/span> and My Quilt – My Rules. <\/span>She will also be a demonstrator in the Roundabout.\n\n<\/span><\/span>More about Pamela:\n\nCarolyn:<\/span><\/span> How many years have you been quilting?
<\/span><\/span>Pamela: <\/span><\/span><\/span>I have been making fabric art since 2002, having been a painter for 2 decades.<\/span>
Carolyn: <\/span> What motivated you to start quilting?
<\/span><\/span>Pamela: <\/span><\/span><\/span>I just felt that some of my paintings and collage work looked like it would translate into fabric. Even tho’ I couldn’t really sew at the time, I just jumped in making fabric wall hangings and with the help of online quilters, began improving my sewing skills.\n\n<\/span><\/span>Carolyn:<\/span> <\/span><\/span>Where have you traveled in your quilting teaching career?
<\/span><\/span>Pamela: <\/span><\/span><\/span>I have traveled coast to coast in the US….from Maine to Houston to California. A very exciting teaching engagement was in Durban South Africa!\n\n<\/span><\/span>Carolyn: <\/span><\/span>What is the most, unusual, frightening, funny, frustrating experience you have had in your quilting career?
<\/span><\/span>Pamela: <\/span><\/span><\/span>Hmmmm, there are a number of funny malaprops in my early fabric career as I didn’t know anything about traditional quilting. I once asked online what a “fat square” was! Duct tape was my friend in the early days as I had a $30.00 church basement machine where the feed dogs didn’t go down. Thus needed the duct tape!<\/span> \n\nCarolyn: <\/span> Does anyone else in your family quilt?
<\/span><\/span>Pamela: <\/span><\/span><\/span>No one!<\/span> \n\nCarolyn:<\/span> What is your birth order? – only child, first, second, third, or ??
<\/span><\/span>Pamela: <\/span><\/span><\/span>I am the youngest of two sisters.<\/span>\n\nCarolyn: Where did you grow up?
<\/span><\/span>Pamela: <\/span><\/span><\/span>I was raised in the inner city of Toronto Canada.\n\n<\/span>Carolyn:<\/span> Do you have children \u2013 grandchildren?
<\/span><\/span>Pamela: <\/span><\/span><\/span>Lucky me…even though I have no children of my own, I married into 15 grandchildren. Most have been born after my marriage so I feel a bone fide Grandmother.<\/span> \n\nCarolyn:<\/span> Do you have any pets?
<\/span><\/span>Pamela: <\/span><\/span><\/span>Alas, pets are not part of my home.<\/span> \n\nCarolyn: <\/span>What is your favorite food?
<\/span><\/span>Pamela: <\/span><\/span><\/span>I like almost ALL food. In fact, I have done quilts on the subject. An easier task would be to say one I DON”T like…..which is green olives ( YUK!)\n\n<\/span>Carolyn: <\/span>What would be on your \u201cbucket list\u201d (like the movie) if you could do anything and money was no object.?
<\/span><\/span>Pamela: <\/span><\/span><\/span>Travel to India. Travel anywhere FIRST CLASS.<\/span> \n\nCarolyn:<\/span> Do you have any other hobbies besides quilting?
Pamela: <\/span>Gardening, bike riding, cutting my own hair ( YIKES!)<\/span>
