Meet Nina, a retired Law Enforcement officer turned crafty maker quilter extraordinaire.  Throughout her thirty-year career, she always tailored her own uniforms, but don’t ask her to hem pants anymore, quilters don’t do that!  Nina lived and worked in CA for more than 50 years and when she retired from Law Enforcement, moved to Idaho with her husband where she can sew all day long and she thinks that is fantastic.

Nina has had a sewing machine since she was very young.  Her first machine was a mini toy singer hand crank which she used to play with as a child! She was always crafty making all kinds of things for her children, home, and gifts for friends and family. But one day in 2019 tried quilting and finally understood what her high school geometry teacher had been trying to teach.

Nina’s first Legit Kit quilt was The Kracken.  Growing up in the San Francisco Bay area, it was a no brainer.  And it was purple.  After that one quilt she was hooked and couldn’t wait to help others learn how to make their own Legit Kit works of art. 

If she isn’t behind a machine, you might find her swimming laps at the rec center or walking the dog along the river; Idaho is such a pretty place to live!
