Textile Art Inspirations, Maggie Vanderweit
Textile Art Inspirations
Maggie loves sharing her passion for quilting, beading, silk fusion, felting, collage and painting with others who are also bitten by the artistic bug. Maggie’s trunk show, showcasing an extensive variety of quilts and wall hangings, chronicles her journey from traditional quilter to contemporary textile artist.
