An avid quilter for over 20 years, Marilyn lives in a suburb of St. Paul, Minnesota. She started
her pattern company in 2006 and named it Quilt Moments since she grabbed bits of time
between the kids activities and naps to design and sew. Marilyn enjoys traveling, teaching, and
sharing her love for designing quilts that look complicated yet include basic piecing
techniques. With a background in analysis, she loves the challenge of making her pieced
patterns as versatile as possible, so her patterns always include a variety of sizes and fabric
options. She uses many fabrics in her quilts and lets the fabric elements do the work to create
stunning results. Whether it’s rotating block units, including easy four-patch kaleidoscopes
made from a large print in the block centers, creating unique ways to show off panels, or using
the popular Twister tools (she’s also the owner of Twister Sisters at TwisterSistersDesigns.com,
home of the twister tools), all her techniques are addictive and fun! Learn more about Marilyn
