I live in Seattle, WA with my 8yr old Airedales, Dave and Sophie. I’ve had Airedales for over 25 yrs. and they are my favorite breed of dog. Dave loves Frisbee and Sophie loves tennis balls, more than food or any other toy. I’ve been with the Quilt Bee for 10yrs. I have made memory books, named quilts, and do the behind the scenes incentive promo work. I also fundraise and manage the money for the Bee from the sale of Airedale Quilt patterns.

I am also known as Auntie Lydia, and that was the bonus quilt for 2004 “Waiting for Auntie Lydia’s Kookies”. You can now buy that pattern online. This year I was in charge of ticket ordering, Bee money manager, and final assembly of the quilt.
