<\/o:p><\/p>\n\n \n\nMatt: <\/span>How long have you been quilting? <\/span>What made you begin quilting?<\/p>\n\n \n\nPat: I have been quilting for over 40 years. Moving from the Midwest to NY, it was very relaxing for me living in dowtown Brooklyn without knowing anyone.<\/span><\/p>\n\n \n\nM: <\/span>Do you have a quilting studio? <\/span>How big and is there anything unique that you keep in your studio?<\/p>\n\n \n\nP: I live in a 14 room Victorian house and tend to use all of the rooms. Each one has a different purpose. My home based office is in the Maids Room. When I first started the business in 1981 I taught classes in this room. Now it is filled with office work, computers and files.<\/span><\/p>\n\n \n\nM: <\/span>What do you consider your quilting \u201cspecialty\u201d or what makes you unique in the quilting world?<\/p>\n\n \n\nP: I design and manufacture templates to make the quilter\u2019s lives easier.<\/span><\/p>\n\n \n\nM: <\/span>What is your favorite color schemes to work with?<\/p>\n\n \n\nP: I truly love the colors of the 1880\u2019s or lots of bright colors.<\/span><\/p>\n\n \n\nM: What books or articles have you written? <\/span><\/p>\n\n \n\nP: I am working on my 4<\/span>th<\/span><\/sup> book to be published by AQS, <\/span>Two-Patched Quilts.<\/span><\/u><\/p>\n\n \n\nM: <\/span>What do you do while you quilt? <\/span>Do you listen to music?<\/p>\n\n \n\nP: When I am sewing or quilting I like it to be quiet. My creativity comes from this absolutely quiet time.<\/span><\/p>\n\n \n\nM: What is your quilting inspiration?<\/p>\n\n \n\n
P: I get a lot of my inspiration from History. Old newspaper patterns, old textile, orphan blocks and quilt tops.<\/span><\/p>\n\n \n\nM: What is the funniest moment you have had happen while you were teaching?<\/p>\n\n \n\n
P: The funniest moment I had was demonstrating rotary cutting to a group of beginning quilter\u2019s . Taking a moment to talk between the demo I was flipping the 28mm rotary in my hand like a baton. Without realizing it, I was shredding the front of my blue and white seersucker pants@! <\/span><\/p>\n\n \n\nM: <\/span>What was the best class you have taken?<\/p>\n\n \n\nP: I have taken so many classes and lectures there in not one that stands out, it\u2019s the cumulative experiences that have driven me and the business.<\/span><\/p>\n\n ]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7,22,24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-34","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-faculty","category-blog","category-road-2011"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
