This is a custom king sized quilt created to the customer specifications with 100% cotton, one of a kind, batiks. The center is a 58" starburst surrounded by a yellow toned batik to set off all the blue, grey, and light colored diamonds all joined to make the large center. I also made a surprise accent pillow from some of the fabrics left after the quilt completion. This is a pattern that lends itself greatly to any color combination that you could come up with and can be constructed in most any size needed. the price that is noted as the starting price is actually for the king size item, smaller sizes are priced accordingly. Also the shipping for this size item within the United States runs $65 due to the size and weight of the packaging (I do not mark up the pricing on the shipping charge).

Welcome to my store!
I have been stitching for well over 40 years! Amazing how fast time goes by, seems like yesterday that I sat at a sewing machine for first time!
I make wedding dresses, baby attire to include Christening/Baptismal Gowns, after christening party attire, First Communion Dresses, Flower girl dresses, quilts or anything you can dream up. I have studied with some world renowned designers such as Sandra Betzina, special occasion expert Susan Khalji, and designer to the stars Kenneth King.
I first learned the trade while visiting an aunt during a summer vacation. She was giving sewing lessons and I had an immediate love for the craft just by watching and when offered the opportunity to learn, I jumped at it! That was the beginning of a lifelong passion.
At first I was only interested in crafting my own clothes but that quickly evolved into sewing for others. When I got married I had made my mind up that I was going to venture into the special occasion genre by making my own gown and that became my next love. After the birth of my first daughter I began making all her (and now my granddaughters) special occasion dresses and then off to yet another level of the craft!
I have made many wedding gowns through the years for friends and the general public, when our friends were having babies I added Baptismal and Christening gowns to my repertoire. At first the gowns were plain with a little lace or other adornment. I have since branched off into using machine embroideries and hand beading along with heirloom techniques. The more intricate the patterns and adornments the better I like it! I have not yet met a request I haven't been able to fulfill.
I am also associated with the organization "Rest in His Arms", which provides burial attire to babies which have been abandoned by their families. This organization provides the burial gowns and services for each baby they come in contact with for free.
It has been a rewarding evolution from my first stitch to now!

Will Swenson
For Quilt ProjectMarcy was truly great in every way. She took my idea and actualized it wonderfully. I was also under a huge time crunch, and she worked incredibly fast to get my project done in time. She was terrific at adjusting things when I suggested a change here and there, and was a very responsive and friendly collaborator on this project. A lovely, talented artist with a lovely, positive energy.
Amanda Koschade
For Quilt ProjectMarceil was amazing! She contacted me every step of the way, asked my opinion on what I would prefer. She even added a special message to the quilt so that my son will be able to keep this and remember how he got it. Thank you so much! I know that anyone who is looking for this type of work will not be disappointed. And who knows I might just need to get something for my daughter soon!
