What other guilds are saying:
Anne Marcellis from Sam Quilt Designs coming to your town? Grab your notepads and pay attention for more sewing and quilting tips, tricks, and twists imaginable in this stand-up comedy show is headed your way. Be prepared to laugh at creative decisions, imaginative solutions, conundrums, and a few “oops.” Anne puts more fun into one presentation than you can imagine. Not your usual trunk show.

I understand that you may be looking for speakers. My name is Merle Pratt and I was the Education Co-chair for the Minnesota Quilt Guild. You should consider Anne Marcellis. I invited Anne to be our presenter in Aug 2018. Anne was great to work with. She was very prompt with the paperwork. The presentation was great. The room was bright and fun with all her colorful quilts. Her presentation is also bright, fun, and fast paced. Along with her quilt journey she had lots of tips and tricks for quilting. My only regret was that I did not take notes.
Check out her quilt "Sammy's Delight" in the Quilt Art 2019 calendar (September). You will want to see this one in person. Her quilting is fantastic and she does it on her stationary machine.
Happy Quilting!

I loved this great group of ladies-Mixed Sampler Quilt Guild in Siren, WI
Swirling quilt with 9 degree ruler
Easy for Confident beginners-no seams to match!
Queen size bed quilt
Sammy's Delight is double sided
(traveled to several American Quilters Society International quilt shows in America)
Kaleidoscope. I used Ricky Tims technique but made this twice as large-60". So much fun!
Rail Fence Ur Way-great for beginners (this was made with 1 jelly roll)
Kaleidoscope size 36" x 36"
What an honor to speak to the Lakeshore Quilers Guild in Shoreview, MN. They have a lot of talented and wonderful members.
I had fun teaching EASY Foundation Paper Piecing during Schoolhouse to the Minnesota Quilters Guild. I had 10 minutes to teach x 10 groups. Turned out to be lots of fun! Thanks ladies.
