Life & Career Milestones
My path in life took a while to figure out
1.
I saw college as a time to explore. Eventually, I created a major exploring humanity. Gender Studies.
2.
Divorced and working as a secretary, I decided a Reference Librarian made a better, happier living.
3.
Then the economy crashed, and I couldn't get a job. I lived on credit, and took a quilting class.
4.
Then I went bankrupt, got really sick, found work in a real library, and stayed sick for years.
5.
Eventually, I lost my job and asked: "What have I always wanted to do that I can do from my bed?"
6.
So I sat in my bed, thought about and started piecing together a story quilt.
7.
Then I made a couple more. And people wanted to buy them. A friend asked to sell them in her store.
