Stained glass meets fabric

I stopped by Quilt Arts today and ran into an old friend! Linda Jackson of SunCatchers in Vicksburg.

Back when Brad and I were engaged, I knew I wanted to make Brad's wedding gift. I was also looking for story ideas, so I stopped in her studio one afternoon. I asked if she could make a panel for Brad. She said, "If you have a few weeks before the date, I can teach you and you can make it yourself." I was totally there.

I made a panel and went on to make crosses for all my bridesmaids. I went further and collected the tools myself and sold different sized crosses to help pay for groceries and stuff while Brad was in medical school. After I got pregnant with Caroline, I stopped because the fumes weren't good for the baby. Then the shards weren't good for the baby, so I never really picked it up again.

It was really weird to have two hobbies collide in one place. She quilts and was checking out the new store.
