not think about it. A lot of
stuff, I didn't think of, but
some of it I was doing on my
own anyway. I would take a
picture from a coloring book
and I draw it before I had
lost my sight. 1 would make
a big pattern out of it, make
the characters onto the quilt
with different fabric colors
and sew around the edges to
finish it off. I can’t do those
anymore, so now I just make
strips and blocks, or whatever
else I can come up with. 1 am
going to start making bas-
ket covers to go on grocery
carts, so babies do not have
to touch where everyone else
has.”
A color identifier helps
Meador determine which col-
ors she will be using. When
the handheld machine is
pressed to a piece of fabric, it
says the color.
“With the embroidery, my
husband sets it up and then
I’ll sit there and run the ma-
chine and change the threads,
because you change them
quite frequently,” Meador
said. "The machine does a lot
of sewing and you sit there
and change the thread colors.
But. you have to get it pro-
grammed and my husband
cuts the squares out for me.”
Meador said the confi-
dence and knowledge gained
through what she has learned
in courses has put her in a
position to begin Precious
Quilting.
“Going through the school
made me start a business,”
Meador said. “They are help-
ing me get things going and
giving me some ideas. They
help me a little financially,
enough to buy the machines
and a table. But is not blind
friendly; none of it is. I have
been trying to get with differ-
ent companies to see if they
can come up with something
that I can make it talk to me.”
Pam Meador and Precious
Quilting can be found on
Facebook, by calling (936)
327-7768 and will soon be at
Trade Days in Livingston.
