*VIRGINIA MARSHALL FEATURED
QUILTER
Santa Monica Quilt Guild featured the truly
exceptional work of our guild member,
VIRGINIA MARSHALL
For twenty years Virginia made clothing for her family, and she thought when she had
time she would look into quilting. She finally realized that if she waited until
she had time it would never happen! She took a class at Crazy Ladies & Friends
in 1992 and made her first quilt, Amish Shadow: Roman Stripe using bright
solids. It was a baby shower gift for her first grandson. That’s all it took,
she was off and running, a possessed quilter! Virginia has made over two hundred quilts,
many for her family, especially her twelve grandchildren, gifts for special friends and charities
including quilting for the Methodist Church Quilt Ministry.
Virginia has exhibited quilts several times in the Road to California and
Pacific International Quilt Shows. The ribbons she has received at the SMQG
Shows include President’s Choice, Quilt Show Chairman's Choice and five Viewers
Choice awards. Virginia is always looking for new patterns to challenge her
skills and she often works on several tops at one time. Her work includes
beautiful hand appliqué, machine appliqué, reverse appliqué, fusible,
machine piecing and machine quilting.
Color plays a very important part in all of her quilts.
It was an honor to present Virginia as our Featured Quilter at
Quilting By the Sea - Celebrations - Quilt Show 2007!
What a treat!
