I don't know about the quilting but she has created a couple of beautiful sets of lace embroidery designs.

Marie's sewing space was featured in one of the Women Who Create magazines last year. She does quilt. If you are not familiar with the mag, it is a quarterly publication featuring craft/sewing spaces of well known and not so well known "artists" and it does give you a lot of ideas for your craft/sewing rooms.

Love the Osmonds (I was so excited to see Donny on DWTS last year) but I sure don't want to see celebrities' sewing spaces. LOL. Makes me jealous. I'd rather see spaces by people like the members here that are more 'normal' for lack of a better word. I have seen Marie in quilt magazines ads for quite a while.

Marie has been quilting for years. She is an accomplished quilter and designer.
I made an "Osmonds" qulit for friend who was 50 and Marie (and the Brothers) signed it for my friend. They are a wonderful family with many talents. |

she has been designing quilting fabrics and selling sewing machines for years...she has many quilting fabric collections on the market and has been active in the quilting/textile/crafting industries for many many years

This is bringing back some memories..... Seems there was a discussion like this back in the spring of 2010. Some of the ladies here live near her, know her and said that she sews and quilts beautifully.
Don't we all have a "work personna" and a "home personna"? I remember one time when I took some crocheting into work and one of the men said, "I'd never have taken you for the 'domesticated woman' type." (I used to be a party girl) I told him that I also painted, sewed, baked, cooked, cleaned house and did laundry. He just shook his head and walked away. Being a celebrity is just a job. Granted it's a more public job than most of us have but it's still a job--not their entire lives. |
She always seems like a nice lady, and has had some bad things happen in the last few years to her family. Quilting may be therapy to her!

For those that don't know what LDS means--- The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Most people call us Mormon.......

She learned to sew and quilt from her Mom, Olive, as she was growing up.
