About Patchkat
I "come from a long line" as my Mom always likes to point out. My Great-Grandmother Fulton was a frugal scrap quilter, my Grandmother did some embroidery work and quilting, my Mom was a wonderful quilter. She set me to quilting at the age of twelve...then education, adulthood, marriage, family, divorce, and work took over. Quilting fell by the wayside as I was consumed with these new goals in my life.
My love of quilting was rekindled after a second marriage when I became a semi-stay at home Mom to 4 very active children and 5 equally active cats! Counted cross stitch became another passion followed by crochet and tole painting.
I have lived in 3 Middle Eastern countries, Europe, and visited Taiwan. I travel with 5 cats and about 300 lbs of quilt cottons, batting and books! My work is mostly by hand and very portable, entailing nothing more than scissors, thimble, thread, and my current project tucked into a freezer bag.
