As a young girl Marianne loved doing everything her mom did and learned to love crafting and creating. She was knitting by age 5 and sewing her clothes by the age of 12. One summer between college semesters she spent the evenings at her grandmother’s house hand quilting with her. Marianne’s love for quilting was just beginning. Shortly after moving into her current home, just over 30 years ago, she was invited to join a quilting group. They would spend one evening a week gathered together quilting and learning piecing and applique techniques. Those mentors became some of her greatest friends. She’s been hooked ever since.
She has spent the last 30 years taking classes and meticulously learning new techniques and finding fun and efficient ways to make beautiful quilts. Recently she started creating her own patterns and projects and didn’t know she could love quilting even more! She is always looking for new patterns and techniques and loves every step of the quilting process.
Quilting isn’t just a fun hobby, it gathers friends and families and creates lasting memories! Marianne loves seeing her grandbabies snuggled in their quilts or her kids and their families having a picnic on a quilt she’s made! Marianne hopes that “Quilting with Marianne” will help others create memories and find their passion for quilting.
