Kathy Neal began sewing in 1986 when she started with making a crib set and learning how to read a pattern in anticipation of her first child. She continued sewing clothes for her five children and learning the process of straight stitching to heirloom sewing. After they grew up, she turned to quilting which became a passion for her. After moving to Spain and trying to learn a new language and culture, quilting became her refuge. Kathy began to teach quilting while in Spain, then began to get calls to travel to teach. She moved home a few years ago, and quilting continued to be her support as she began to work at Beginnings.
