Topic: My Life in Quilts
Marge Tucker is an international award-winning quilt artist with a focus on abstract improvisational design. She pieces her quilts without a definitive image of what the finished piece will look like. She starts with a general concept and color palette then sees where she is led.
Marge made her first quilt over twenty-five years ago for friends expecting their first child. At that time, she didn’t know that quilting would become her passion and profession.
During her lecture this evening, Marge describes her quilting journey, starting from the first quilt. “I remember seeing to becoming a quilting instructor/fiber artist.” Her story includes sources of inspiration for quilt designs and how quilting has changed her life.
Marge has received numerous awards for her quilts, including “Best Machine Quilting” at QuiltCon 2019 and “Best Sewing Machine Workmanship Award – Modern” at the 2019 Pacific International Quilt Festival.
