before kathy was a quilter
she sewed. Today is her birthday, a good day to get nostalgic and show you what creative things she was up to before the quilting obsession took over.
Kathy is a good momma. She did lots of sewing for her kids. Which was especially lucky for me, being the first. I’ve still got this brown calico blanket she tied.
What great custom pieces she created! A knit jellybean jumpsuit for my first day of kindergarten. (And apparently my birthday. Two birthdays in one post!)
Matching kittie Halloween costumes for my brother and me. Cleverly made large enough that we could get years of use out of ‘em!
Kathy’s always been a great designer too. For Girl Scouts’ International Day, she conjured up this Canada flag from scratch. (Which we were clearly, uh, very happy about.)
You can check out even more of her work over on Flickr. Including a felt shark (notice the sweet beard on my pops), some Easter applique, and finally something for herself: a Hawaiian shirt (catch that Karen O-worthy haircut!).
Happy birthday to my dear mother, the other half of Suppose, the creative genius of the family!
