I first started quilting when I started working at Parkland Parish. I was originally going to do just computer work, but I quickly decided that I had to start sewing! I love working here at The Parish and I adore our customers! They are all like second moms and grandmas.The happiness and fun conversation they bring with them brighten up each work day! And, it doesn’t hurt working for your mother in law!!! - Ann Sawin

I made my first quilt in 1989. It was an Eleanor Burns “Quilt in A Day” Log Cabin quilt, lap size, which I made for my husband’s Grandmother. My favorite quilt block is the LeMoyne Star which I like to make it using the method that Bethany Reynolds developed with no inset seams! Working at Parkland Parish is so inspiring! Our customers and staff make it a fun and vibrant place to work and play. To me, the best thing about being at Parkland Parish is helping someone else create something beautiful. I love to be a part of the process. I hope that when our customers come through our front door, they feel like our friends. Debbie was born in Des Moines, Iowa and came to Washington while serving in the United States Army. She met her husband Ken at Ft Lewis, WA and they were married in 1977. Her daughter Erin currently serves in the United States Army and daughter Abigail lives in the Parkland area. –Debbie Severe

I went to my first quilting class with one of my friends and absolutely loved everything about it! Since then, I’ve been quilting, quilting, quilting! My favorite thing about being at Parkland Parish is talking to the women that come into our shop. They show off the most beautiful quilts and inspire me with ideas for upcoming projects. – Judy Allen

I started sewing clothes and toys for my kids in 1980. When I took a “handquilting” class, I was hooked! I enjoy making quilts, but I absolutely love doing hand appliqué. Since I have been working at Parkland Parish, I have come to love the customers’ show and tells and all their wonderful ideas. I also love the staff because they're so fun to work with!! - Bev
