Hello, I am Pam Clarke. Quilting
has been an important part of my life for over 30 years along with, of
course, the most important people in my life, my husband and my three
children.
I was born sometime in the 50's, which makes me about
twenty-something. I have achieved award winning accolades for my
quilts, published artist, public speaker, and a pretty good dancer. And
I have to mention extremely lucky in marriage and family.
I
might also mention I do have a life outside of quilting and that is
golf for which I thank my husband, Mike, to help in the achievement of
that goal.
Good Luck! And thank you for considering "Designs With Lines" method. You are always welcome to contact me with any questions.
