Joining a staff of some nine associate managers at the Guilford ABC consignment/thrift shop, Judi Wallace brings “ultimate patience and a very level head,” says general manager Patty Sullivan. Judi knows clothes. She has spent 30 plus years designing and creating costumes for theaters around the country, including Goodspeed Opera House and Yale Repertory Theater. She supervised all the costumes for the Guilford High School Theatre Arts spring performance of Legally Blonde.
Judi brings deep knowledge of home decorative items as she also has a sewing/creative business where she creates quilts, t-shirts, and custom pillows. Judi has been working with the shop’s consignment items. Patty related that Judi’s laugh and smiles make her “an absolute delight to be around.”
Judi was the Pilgrim Fellowship Director at the First Congregational Church in Guilford for many years. Guilford ABC co-president Laura Berkowitz Gilbert, mother of boys in the program, said, “She was amazing and all the teens loved her.”
