<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n \n\nPeggy Martin will be teaching 3 classes using the Quick-strip paper piecing method.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n \n\n\u00a0<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n \n\nHow many years have you been quilting? <\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n \n\nI’ve been quilting for 28 years.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\u00a0<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n \n\nWhat motivated you to start quilting? <\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n \n\nI had seen quilts in magazines, and as I had always been involved with sewing, was interested in making a quilt for my bed. I was a stay-at-home mom with a small toddler, and the adult ed center had chlld care! I could go to classes and my son could be in the children’s room, so it was a great opportunity to learn quilting.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n \n\n\u00a0<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n \n\nWhere have you traveled in your quilting teaching career? <\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n \n\nAll over the U.S.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n \n\n\u00a0<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat is the most, unusual, frightening, funny, frustrating experience you have had in your quilting career? <\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n \n\nProbably the most frustrating thing was being at the mercy of the airlines last year when Continental cancelled all their flights. I was going to teach for the first time at Houston, and my flight was cancelled!! I just barely made it to my first class, and then my return flight was cancelled, too! It really taught me that you have to be ready for anything when you travel, and also that there are some things that are beyond our control, no matter how much we plan ahead.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n \n\n\u00a0<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n \n\nWho is your favorite author? <\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n \n\nMy favorite author is Jane Austen.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n \n\n\u00a0<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n \n\nWhat is the last book you read or are reading? <\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n \n\n“The Miracle at Speedy Motors” by Alexander McCall Smith.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\u00a0<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n \n\nWhat is your birth order, only child, first, second, third, or ?? <\/span><\/span>I’m the second of five children.<\/span><\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n \n\n\u00a0<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_vI9jugivA9g\/Sgm4c3ItPAI\/AAAAAAAAAQ0\/riVAjFIAE1k\/s320\/Peggy+Martin+playing+her+harp.jpg\")
\n\nWhere did you grow up? <\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n \n\nI grew up in North Canton, Ohio.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n \n\n\u00a0<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n \n\nWhere did you go to college?<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nI went to college as a music major at Ohio State University and finished my degree at California State University, Long Beach.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span><\/p>\n\n \n\n\u00a0Do you have children \u2013 grandchildren?<\/span><\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n \n\nI have two grown sons – no grandchildren yet!<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\u00a0<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n \n\nDo you have any pets?\u00a0 <\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n \n\nNo<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n \n\n\u00a0<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n \n\nWhat is your favorite food? <\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n \n\nMy favorite food – dark chocolate, of course!!<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n \n\n\u00a0<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n \n\nDo you have any other hobbies besides quilting? <\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n \n\nI enjoy playing music on my folk harp, guitar, or piano – all these help me to unwind. I also enjoy beading, making necklaces and earrings.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n \n\n\u00a0<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n \n\nWhat would be on your \u201cbucket list\u201d (like the movie) if you could do anything and money was no object?<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n \n\nIf I could do anything and money was no object, I’d build myself the most fantastic quilting studio ever – tons of storage for my mountains of fabric, a fancy, large cutting table, and huge design walls all around the room. I’d also want space to set up several machines at a time, one for piecing, one for machine appliqu\u00e9, and I’d even have room for a long-arm machine, just to quilt my own quilts! If it was possible to buy time, I’d want to have time to make more give-away quilts for our veterans, for the babies and children in hospitals, and other worthy causes. I make a few of these quilts a year, but never have time to make very many with my busy teaching schedule.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n \n\n\u00a0<\/span><\/o:p><\/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":[22,32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-77","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog","category-road-to-california"],"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\/77","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=77"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=77"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=77"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=77"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
