Mary Anne graduated from Brigham Young
University majoring in Business Education with a
minor in Business Management. After graduating,
she was a stay at home mom for a few years and
then worked in the mortgage industry for over 10
years. She is now excited about the opportunity
she has to share her life-long sewing and
quilting talents and experiences with others who
have the desire to learn from her. |
Mary Anne has always thought of making quilts
for those in need or comfort. After the attacks
on the World Trade Center in 2001, she felt
compelled to reach out to those families
affected in her community. Being a quilter, she
decided to make a quilt for each of the 10
families that had lost someone in the tragedy.
She posted a request on the internet asking for
quilters to send her blocks to be used in the
project. The response was very overwhelming!
From the help of many wonderful quilters all
across the world, over 30 quilts were made and
distributed to local families in the
Westchester, New York area including the ten
families in Pelham. Her work was featured on
the local television station and in several
local newspapers.

region . She also strives to keep the love of
sewing (and quilting) alive and well by teaching
children’s sewing classes on a weekly basis in
her studio. Additionally, she teaches
hand-sewing to young children during their
lunch-time enrichment hour program in the local
