Quilts

Mary’s oldest sister Joan first introduced Mary to quilting about ten years ago. With Joan’s encouragement, Mary has been stitching away, creating numerous quilts for members of her family, for local schools and organizations to use as fundraisers, as well as for customers.

Be sure to browse this page for examples of the quilts she’s made for her family. Each quilt is a story, a collection of memories as Mary has incorporated many fabrics from their childhood, from fabric that her mother kept to pieces of clothing. These quilts are beautiful treasures will be handed down to future generations.

Memory Bears

Mary's Memory Bears are sure to become family treasures! Inspired by fabulous fabrics from all corners of life - uniforms, fur coats, upholstery fabric, or any piece of clothing - she will create a wonderful keepsake for you!

Crochet

When Mary was a sophomore in high school, her sister Joan taught her to crochet. And Mary hasn't stopped crocheting since. When she needs a break from quilting or making Memory Bears, Mary can whip up a fabulous crochet piece in the blink of an eye.

Some of her crochet work can be seen at the boutique Tres Rafine in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Here you can see hats, scarves, shawls, camisoles, chemises, and skirts Mary has crocheted. You can also see more photos of her work on this page.
