Second Wind

Jean said her husband was kind enough to buy her a building for her sewing and other crafts "to keep her messes out there." That's a good enough reason for any crafter to want a sewing sewing space, so major kudos to Marty Antholzner. My quilt frame takes up half of our living room when it's set up, so an air conditioned building would be a dream for most any quilter and crafter. 

​

This second photo gallery shows bringing the cute cabin in and how Jean fixed it up and organized it to be as functional as possible. Jean said she's bought lots of fabric over the years, so during the pandemic, she "shops" for fabricat her own quilt cabin. 

​

I told Jean about one of my quilts that my great grandmother pieced, and my grandmother, mother, and I  quilted it (my part was only a corner). Some of the fabric has disintegrated, though. She said the life of quilts can be extended by avoiding direct sunlight and storing them properly.

​

When Marty works outside, he likes to go over to the cabin to cool off and visit with Jean. I couldn't resist including photos of Mr. Peabody, who shadows Marty around their place. 

​

Jean also paints, draws and sculpts, so quilting is just one of her many talents and skills. Thank you for sharing them with us, Jean!
