Quilter Highlight: Stacie Dartnell

Stacie comes to us from Salem. She's been quilting more than 40 years! Her grandmother taught her to sew and helped her with her first project: doll clothes. Stacie still owns the green 1956 Bernina that she learned to sew on. The picture she's holding shows the doll with the clothes she made for it. Stacie loves all kinds of sewing projects and thinks of sewing as "I just get to have fun!"

UVQG Service Day

Quilter Highlight: Marie Haws

Marie earned her Associates Degree in Apparel Design and that began her long love of all things fabric! She has been quilting since 1995 and joined UVQG in 2010. Today, her favorite thing to do is machine embroidery. She has learned how to "applique" using machine embroidery to attach the pieces and how to digitize art into something that can be embroidered. But more impressive, she is using machine embroidery to craft a "Dear Jane" quilt and the blocks, rather than being pieced, are created with the embroidery. Look for that (knock on wood) in the upcoming Springville Quilt Show! Marie won an honorable mention in the "Road to California" quilt show and has won a blue ribbon at the Springville Quilt Show.
