She and I get to meet in person in October at the Sewing Summit, and I just know we are going to hit it off like long lost pals. PS: There are still openings at the Sewing Summit- come on, join us!!!
Amy is a super talented mom and has loads of creativity. Be sure to check out her finished quilts and read more about her here.
She is also hosting a fussy cut fabric swap and has space for a few more.
So let's meet Amy!
Stats:
Name: Amy Gibson
Family: Russell (husband of 8 yrs), and daughters Nora (3) and Charlotte (15 mos)
Location: Denver, CO
Blog: www.stitcherydickorydock.blogspot.com
Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/stitcherydickorydock/
What is your favorite:
place: Paris
sound: my daughters’ giggling, rain & thunder
movie: The Pursuit of Happiness
book: Is it pathetic that I haven’t finished a book all year? The time when both my kids are actually sleeping simultaneously is like gold - so I’m either sewing, speed cleaning the kitchen, or enjoying a Law & Episode rerun & Sonic ice cream Blast when I just need some relaxation.

word: sweet
article of clothing: sunglasses- preferably large, vintage, and cheap!
food: it’s a 3-way tie between avocados, melted cheese, & garlic
dessert: chocolate in any form- the darker the better. Mousse? Molten Lava Cake? Yes please!
album: I think I’m too ADD to listen to an album all the way through. I like to mix it up. My iPod filled with stuff like Thievery Corporation, Empire of The Sun, Kings of Convenience, Lily Allen, and Michael Buble.
non quilting/sewing website: www.weelicious.com www.regretsy.com www.ohdeedoh.com
fabric line: toughest question ever! Perhaps Joel Dewberry’s Aviary, or Sandi Henderson’s Meadow Sweet
sewing tool: my 5” Dovo scissors
color: chartreuse

completed sewing project:
“Miss Modd” quilt I just finished for Nora’s bed. The fabric’s kinda folky Swedish mod girlie, and the pattern is a disappearing 9-patch block that I stumbled upon while playing around with pieces on my design board. It’s so bright & happy- I can’t look at it without smiling.
quick finish sewing project: modern log cabin & dresden quilted pillows for my couch
coffee or tea: definitely coffee, lots of cream, pinch of sugar
coke or pepsi: neither- I don’t like soda (call me crazy!)
chocolate or vanilla: um, vanilla with chocolate chunks and swirls? My ice cream tastes are complex.
mountains or beach: mountains
football or baseball: football, love NFL
dog or cat: cat
minivan or suv: SUV for now...vowed I never would go MV, but might need to cross over to the dark side if we have a 3rd munchkin. Big auto slide doors on both sides = happy mommy.
What is your day job? Mom/Cook/Housekeeper/Chauffeur. Up until last November I worked full time as a model booking agent for 8 years at a top talent agency in Denver.
What is your dream job? to be a nationally well known fabric and pattern designer
What is your favorite time waster? Facebook
You win the lottery, what is the first thing you buy? a house
