Hi, I’m Mary — an improv quilter and teacher who helps makers trust their creative decisions. My classes blend clarity, encouragement, and playful exploration, giving you simple tools that unlock confidence and flow in every quilt. I teach with warmth, structure, and a deep love for the joyful surprises of improv. T I’m thrilled to say that I will teach two classes at Quilt Fest in Houston: Exquisite Curves and Almost in Church Stained Glass.
And… between stitches, I write novels that weave creativity into everyday life. Welcome — I’m glad you’re here
