She pieces her quilts without a definitive image of what the finished piece will look like. Marge starts with a general concept and color palette then sees where she is led. Marge made her first quilt over twenty-five years ago for friends expecting their first child. At that time\, Marge didn’t know that quilting would become her passion and profession. \nMarge has received numerous awards for her quilts\, including “Best Machine Quilting” at QuiltCon 2019 and “Best Sewing Machine Workmanship Award – Modern” at the 2019 Pacific International Quilt Festival. Marge shares the tradition of quilting with her students. She teaches in person and online in her Rockland\, MA\, studio\, and travels for in-person workshops throughout the United States.

After studying fashion design and spending a short time in the industry\, I took a detour and worked as a bookkeeper for 15 years. Later\, I married\, moved to the suburbs\, and raised two children as a stay-at-home mom. Eventually\, I found my way back to sewing and discovered art quilting. Before long that creative spark grew into a passion which led to teaching. Since then\, I’ve won about 50 awards\, including a Judge’s Choice\, a sewing machine\, and cash prizes. My work has been published twice\, and in November 2025\, I had a one-woman show at the prestigious Dwight Englewood School. Today\, I work and teach at The Quilt Tree in Nyack\, New York\, one of the few remaining quilt shops in the region.
