About two years ago, Marianne bought a quilting frame and long-arm domestic sewing machine so she could machine-quilt her own works, but she also does quite a few made by members of her local group for the Quilts for Keeps program at the Children's Hospital in Westmead.
Marianne's quilting journey started 10 years ago with a class she took at a local quilt shop taught by Val Nadin. The class was on the Lazy Log Cabin block set in a Streak of Lightning layout and being a complete beginner, Marianne learnt rotary cutting and only made three blocks that day. However, with inconceivable zealotry, she then completed the remaining 61 blocks needed, added an extra 16 and made a further 64 blocks for a matching quilt - all within the week. "The shop owner declared that I was hooked - and she was right!" she laughs. "Someone once told me, 'there's more to life than quilting' - I'm still trying to work out what that might be!"
