“Don’t wait for things to happen, make them happen”
You may have heard a similar quote, but this exact phrase is
something my dad used to say to me as long as I can remember.
And I have pretty much lived my life accordingly.
My name is Cindy Skelton (The Quilting Engineer) 
Yes, I love to quilt and sew and I am a mechanical engineer
(General Motors Institute – class of 1978)
But I’m also a mom of 3 grown sons and a grandmother of 2 amazing children.
And for 16 years, I was a high school Physics, Robotics & Astronomy teacher
(after getting my teacher certification)
I am a breast cancer survivor (10 years and counting!)
Thank you, Dad, I’ll continue to “Make things happen”
