How did you get into sewing and quilting?

I learned my love of sewing from my mom. She sewed dresses and costumes and clothing for me growing up and I learned how to sew from her. As I got older, I had friends who quilted, and I learned to quilt and sew bags. Now I try and get away a few weekends a year to have fun sewing weekends with friends.

Do you feel like your artistic endeavors influence your legal career? And vice versa?

Both my job and sewing require attention to detail, so working on one is always good practice for the other. Sewing doesn't always go smoothly or perfectly and has shown me how to roll with things as they progress, which has been helpful with my work.

Where do you find the inspiration to create?

Almost everything I make is for friends and family, so I get inspired by their lives and my own to make things that would make people happy.
