Personal: <\/i>With Debbie Busby, it is family first. Born in Albany Oregon, she was raised with three sisters. She and her husband have a son and a daughter and six grandchildren. Three of her grandchildren are her daughter\u2019s four year old triplet girls: Hailey, Emma, and Olivia. Her son has two more granddaughters, Addison and Hazel and her one grandson, Lincoln.\u00a0 Her family also includes two labs that are sisters. Liberty is a yellow lab, and Lucy is a black lab.\"Grandkids\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

How did you get started in quilting?<\/i> I started hand stitching as a young girl with my grandmother and great aunt. I took home economics in high school. My first project was an apron out of yellow gingham.\u00a0 My husband bought my first sewing machine for me after we were married and I sewed clothing for years. Eventually I began sewing small projects for craft shows and then started my own business in 2003. Most of my designs use hand dyed wool and hand stitching.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Does anyone else in your family quilt? <\/i>My mother and my grandmothers sewed and my great aunt hand pieced and hand quilted many quilts. I am hoping to begin teaching my grandchildren to sew soon!!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Where do you find inspiration for your quilting?<\/i> Inspiration for me comes from my surroundings. There is so much color and texture in nature!!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

What is the one quilting tool that you can\u2019t live without?<\/i> Of course without my needle I would be lost!!! I also love sharp little scissors!!!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

What do you like best about teaching? <\/i>I love to see others discover the joy in working with wool and see the joy in their accomplishment. \"Boo<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

What do you want your students to get out of your class<\/i>? I want my students to make their projects their own……to know that there is no wrong way. I want them to learn confidence in their stitching…..no one stitches the same and that makes us each unique!!!\u00a0 And of course to HAVE FUN!!!!\"Buttons<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
