My Sleepy-Time Friends Crochet Pillows

Calliste lives on a small ranch near Valley Center, California. When she's not designing, she does a lot of crochet for charity. Other passions of hers include qi gong, painting, and jigsaw puzzles. Her Grandma Gladys taught her to crochet at the age of 11, and she hasn't stopped since. As a young stay-at-home mother, Calliste developed my skills, and in 1989 I submitted my first pattern to Annie's. Calliste has had many designs published in the following years, but once the kids grew up, she began a career as a Sign Language Interpreter, and her time for design was limited. After 21 years in the profession she loved, she have retired, and now she have plenty of time!
