Quilting is one of Marla’s main obsessions/passions. She says:
“It gives me friends, laughter, visual stimulation, travel opportunities, and alone time. Sometimes the challenge of getting the top to lay smooth regardless of how many seams come together is a great problem; other times everything goes together so smoothly that the 30 years I’ve spent doing it seems warranted!”
Most of the fabric Marla uses is hand processed, dyed using Procion MX, silk screened, deconstructed, painted, stamped and otherwise done as one of a kind project. Surface design is a source of delight to Marla and she finds exactly the right color/shape for a spot in a quilt.
