Our speaker this month is our own member, LIANNA JO BURGER. Lianna Burger has been sewing since she was in grade school. She got her first real sewing machine for Christmas in the 6th grade and has been going crazy ever since. She started sewing because of her mother, but it's not what you think. “Mom sewed all of my clothes and they all looked the same”. At that point she took over and became the family seamstress. She has been making quilts for a very long time but each one had a destination so most of them were given away. She started Quilting when her children were born, making quilts for their rooms and all her nieces and nephews. Each quilt was geared to their personalities, from lace and satin to denim. These quilts were her own pattern and hand quilted. Lianna also loves handwork like knitting and crocheting, as well as appliqué and hand quilting. Lianna has a vibrant personality and a wonderful sense of humor! I hope you can join us!
