Wendy Hill

My fundamental identity is of someone who makes things. This goes back to my earliest memories of drawing with my father and crafting with my mother. My Home Economics teachers broke me of my bad self-taught habits while encouraging my creativity; I made a bread wrapper raincoat, a vinyl bikini bathing suit and a faux-fur coat with bound buttonholes while learning solid sewing skills. When I made my first quilt at age 19, I asked "how hard can it be?". It's not hard to start making things, but for many of us, it's impossible to stop. We must keep searching for that quilt-or whatever-within. Find me at wendyhill.net and wendyhill.net/blog
