Nov. 11 presenter Peggy Hill
Born and raised in Ithaca, Peggy Hill moved to Syracuse many years ago when Agway established its corporate headquarters there. Years later, when planning for retirement, she realized that she needed to find a hobby. The local school was offering an evening quilt-making class. She signed up, loved it, took a second class at a local quilt store, and turned her guest room into a mini-studio. Moving up her planned retirement date, she became a dedicated quilt maker.
When Kendal at Ithaca opened in 1996, Peggy returned to Ithaca, converted the master bedroom of her cottage into a dedicated quilt studio, and joined the Tompkins County Quilters Guild. Color is her particular interest and she taught the “Color for Quilters” class at Quilters Corner for a number of years.
She was an active member of the Guild until her marriage twelve years later when she decided to spend evenings at home with her new husband. She is looking forward to seeing long-time friends and sharing some of the many quilts she has made since she became a quilter.
