Peggi Anderson
Peggi started sewing when she was 8 years old on her mother's old sewing machine. First, doll clothes, then dresses, then on to mother-daughter outfits. Her love of fabrics and fibers led her to a life long pursuit of working with different fiber arts. When her kids were in school full-time she took advantage of Adobe Arts Center in Castro Valley, California where she lived and explored quilting, spinning and cross-stitch.
Part-time work at a spinning and weaving shop, a cross-stitch and needle shop, membership in quilt and embroiderer's guilds kept her interest in needle arts. Before coming to work at Caledonia Fine Fabrics, she worked at a large quilt store in Reno, NV as manager and teacher.
Custom sewing has also been part of her sewing life. Always ready to take on a new project for a client, and being like the cobblers children, the last to sew for herself. So many fabrics, so little time. Ideas and fabrics around! Tempted daily by the wonderful selection of fabrics, she tries to come up with a different combination to wear every day.
