New York Moment

By LJ Pixie Saberg, A Kaleidoscope of Quilts

L.J. taught herself to sew over 50 years ago on an old treadle sewing machine gifted by her aunt. Starting with doll clothes, her own clothes, and saving fabric scraps, she created her first quilt, igniting a passion for quilting in all its forms.  L.J. has crafted various quilts, including for dolls, babies, couches, beds, wall hangings, and mini quilts using half inch blocks. Now retired from accounting and bookkeeping, L.J. enjoys designing, teaching, and collaborating with others. Remarkably, she still owns her treadle machine, which remains functional during power outages.

By Deb Messina, Quiltblox

Pattern designer, quilter, blogger, and online shop owner, Deb learned to sew as a pre-teen from her grandfather. He taught her how to draft patterns – starting with chair cushions and drapes. From there she moved on to clothing and then, inspired by a stack of family quilts made by her great aunt, to quilting. Many of her quilt designs are block-based: traditional with a modern twist. You can follow Quiltblox on Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, and Threads.

Doris’s keen eye for mixing colors and her talent for designing memorable quilts have become a passion.
