<\/div>\n\nMatt: Where were you born and what is your birth order?\nAngie Steveson: I was born in Denville, New Jersey. I am the first-born. I have two brothers. My parents moved the family out west when I was seven years old.<\/span>\n
M: Where did you grow up?\n
AS: I grew up the suburbs of Denver, Colorado.<\/span>\n
M: What motivated you to begin quilting?\n
AS: I had always liked sewing. I was involved in the Girl Scouts and 4H clubs as a young girl. I started quilting to make a quilt for my first child after he was born.<\/span>\n
M: Describe your \u201cquilting studio\u201d — is there something in it that you just can\u2019t live without?\n
AS: My quilting studio is one of the bedrooms in my home. It is always a mess. The guest bedroom is now my office, which I tend to spend more time in then my sewing studio. When sewing in my studio I can\u2019t live without my first Bernina 1260 sewing machine. Also I can\u2019t live without my Havel\u2019s Snip-Eze scissors. I have several pairs, so there is always a pair wherever I need them.<\/span>\n
M: Does anyone else in your family quilt?\n
AS: I don\u2019t know of anyone in my immediate family that quilts. I do have fond memories of my Grandmother embroidering on linen table runners. I am fortunate enough to own some of her exquisite handwork.<\/span>\n
M: Do you have any other hobbies besides quilting?\n
AS: Other hobbies I have besides quilting are cross-stitch. I like to read and watch movies. I hate exercise, but enjoy my water aerobics class every morning. I would love to spend more time improving my skills working with all the wool projects I have collected.<\/span>\n
M: Do you have children, grandchildren etc?\n
AS: I have two wonderful sons, Zach and Nick. They are both college students.<\/span>\n
M: Do you have any pets?\n
AS: I have four cockatiel birds and two box turtles. There were my son\u2019s pets and now I am in charge of them.<\/span>\n
M: Do you have a favorite food? Can you share a short favorite recipe with us?\n
AS: My favorite food is dessert, Chocolate brownies!\n
\n\n
M: What would be on your \u201cbucket list\u201d (like the movie) if you could do anything and money was no object?\n
AS: I would love to have separate little house in my backyard for my sewing studio and office. I would travel to Prince Edward Island in Canada. Wouldn\u2019t it be nice to have a personal chef, maid and chauffer! How about finish all my unfinished quilts!!!<\/span>\n
M: What is the best class you have taken?\n
AS: Wow, I have taken so many great quilting classes over the past years. I have learned something in every class I have taken! My most recent favorite class at Road to California was the Photography for Quilts class with Gregory Case.<\/span>\n
M: What is the funniest moment you have had happen while you were teaching?\n
AS: I really can\u2019t think of anything that was the funniest moment, but in all my classes the sound of laughter can be heard in the classroom. I want my students not only to learn something new, but also to have fun!<\/span>\n
M: Where have you traveled in your quilt teaching career? Any favorites?\n
AS: I have mostly traveled in the western part of the United States. I enjoy traveling to teach in Colorado. It\u2019s like going home!<\/span>\n
M: What was the last book you read, and who is your favorite author?\n
AS: I am currently reading Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. One of my favorite authors is L. M. Montgomery who wrote the Anne of Green Gables series.<\/span>\n
