addresses from time-to-time”

think I ever would have created some of the beautiful quilts that I have
made without her inspiration. She always encouraged me to try new things.

meetings or friendship groups with her around. She was such a bright spot
in the quilting world.” – quilting customer

“Your
wife was such an inspiration to me as a quilter and as a kind person…I took
Pam Clarke classes at Cranberry and was able to quilt along side Marge. She
was so talented! Once in a while she would bring quilts in to share at
Cranberry and she amazed me. I considered it an honor to know her. Once
while I was quilting away at Cranberry she came over to my machine and
looked at what I was doing and said, "That's beautiful." I wanted to shout
for joy! What an honor to receive a compliment from one who I admired and
inspired me so much!” – machine quilter
“You set
an example for me as a couple along with Marge’s incredible talent as a

quilting talent will live on in me as I remember her almost every day I
quilt – something she taught me comes to mind and is accomplished.” –

and I were talking about the wonderful quilts that Marge quilted for us and
how much we appreciated her skills and creativity... I feel so blessed to
have quilts quilted by her.”
– quilting customer
"Marge did the best quilting I
have seen. I didn't know her, meet either of you or even received you as a
reference. I found your brochure either online or at some quilt show and I
decided to check you out. I was VERY pleased. I have someone else do most
of my quilting, but if it's special and I'm going to spend good money on it,
it would go to Marge."
– quilting customer
"I was fortunate to be asked to
be the speaker and teacher at the quilters guild last Tues. So I got to
show ALL my quilts that Marge had done for me and tell about how wonderful
she was as a person as well as the most talented quilter who ever drew
breath. I tried to make it a tribute to her and all that she had done for
me." – quilting customer
"I think of all the beautiful
quilts that will not be without her artistry. What a loss for us...Margie
was always a very special person and the world is a little sadder without
her." -- quilting customer
"I was so sorry to hear of
Marge's passing. I also thought you'd like to know I've been winning
ribbons on a quilt that she did for me. She probably did this one in
2002." – quilting customer
"...Marge is always in the back
of my mind and as I was quilting yesterday I just started crying as I was
thinking of her and how it wasn't fair that I had just really gotten to know
a part of her and she is now gone. What a wonderful person we lost..."
– machine quilter
"...Going to miss seeing
all her wonderful creations. She was so very talented and creative..."
