My primary responsibility is helping/checking out customers in the warehouse. Then second responsibility is answering calls from customers.  I keep the closeout area neat and organized.  I get to attend market twice a year to help set up and sell and take down mainly in the notions booth.

 

I was born in Sidney, Nebraska and moved to Manhattan, Kansas when I was in the fifth grade.

 

I have worked for Moda for 7 years, July 19th

I believe my first quilt was a baby quilt for my first child made out of pastel gingham checks with white eyelet trim in 1978.

Telephone, computer, and a smile.

 I love to paint watercolors, garden and read as well as sew.

I wanted to be a nun or a stewardess.

My dad always took us camping when my mom was attending summer school as a teacher. He took us fishing and had all four of us, my two brothers and my sister and I sitting on a log at the edge of the lake with our bamboo fishing rods and up swam a snake and we dumped our fishing rods in the lake and took off running. Dad had to fish them out of the lake so when the snake went away we could all go back and fish again.  I really don't remember sitting back down on that log after the snake.

 I worked for a drapery company when I was expecting my second child.  Measuring for and designing drapery treatments for residents in Lewisville. I had to walk the neighborhoods hanging door hangers advertising our company. I would then go to peoples houses to measure and prepare estimates of what they wanted done to their windows. I am not sure I would be comfortable doing that today.

 Sarah is my youngest daughter and is in my life in a capacity that no other could be.  She is a pain sometimes as I am sure I am to her  but mostly she is delightful and very supportive and a whole lot of fun to be around.  Never a dull moment with Sarah. She has been through the tough times with me.  We are able to laugh a lot together.
