Beverly Price Melby is a semi-retired teacher, avid reader, and long-time sewist. Family lore has it that she stole a needle from her grandmother when she was 5, and proceeded to making doll clothes. She has constructed slipcovers, boat covers, military reenactment uniforms, and of course, clothing. She also knits, crochets, and embroiders. She cannot quilt to save her life. For the foreseeable future she will be concentrating her efforts on baby clothes.
