Central US Hello

[ktsews]

Hi all,
My name is Kate and I live in deep Southern Illinois in the US. I found this web site on a post from the Workroom Association of America. It's new, growing and very promising.
I've been sewing slipcovers for 21 years. Before that I was an underground coal miner. I started making window treatments about 7 years ago. I used to sew in my basement but now I have built a sun filled workroom. I just can't get enough of this stuff and look forward to checking the forum regularly.
Thanks,
Kate

Hi Kate, nice to see you over here. To everyone else. Kate visited my shop in Waco Texas a couple of years ago. We wanted to keep her. Lovely person, very laid back and comfortable to around.

She told me she would show us how to do slipcovers if she could spend the day looking at our operation. So I brought my daughters loveseat in and she whipped up a lovely slipcover that we enjoy even today.

Wish you were closer Kate. Are you coming to the Springfield conference? Do you want to do another demo in the Working Workroom?

Hi Kate - Nice to meet you! I'm in southeast Iowa - I bet we're only a couple hundred miles from each other, and meeting up on the UK forum!

Hope to talk to you again soon!
