Elite Quilters

Sharon Schamber said she'd rather MQ than piece. She doesn't particularly enjoy piecing so she spends "only" 6 hrs a day doing piecing. ahem. (Remember she's the one whose DH takes care of all the household chores.)

When people ask her how she accomplishes so much she says she has 36 hours in a day (whutever that means.) She gets up and starts quilting at 3:30 a.m. cuz nobuddy interrupts her then.

She also has 7 quilts going at any given time, in different phases, so when she gets bored with one projectile, she works on another.

Also she has some sort of tremors (not Parkinson's) that have limited her ability to do fahncy quilting on her home machine, but obviviously still works wonders on her long-arm machine. She's also dyslexic, didn't learn to read til she was in high school. She said dyslexic people have I.Q.'s as high (or higher) than "normal" people; their brains are just wired differently.
