It has been about 12 years since I started making quilts. I know a lot of people in the congregation in Bonner who quilted, and decided to give it a try. My first quilt was a log cabin which sat a long time after most of the blocks had been made. Then one day I decided to get it out and finish it, and haven't stopped since.
I love the fabrics and how they combine. I love (and need) the discipline of starting a project that seems like it will take forever and seeing it through. I love working with my hands and creating something that is tangible and visible.
I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, one of four children born to Elmer and Catherine Darlington Rohr. I first came to Montana as an intern from the Lutheran Seminary in Columbus, Ohio. I served congregations in Townsend, Wibaux, Hamilton, Post Falls Idaho, Billings, and Bonner. After retirement in July, 2006, I moved to Ronan, Montana.
I am the father of four children: a church musician in Minneapolis, a Hollywood publicist in Los Angeles, a working and college student mother of four in Phoenix and an attorney in Washington, DC
