Quilting and crafting has been a part of Marie Bard-Curtis’s life for as long as she can remember. She learned to sew to make clothes for her doll as a child, and she, like all the children in her family, received a handmade quilt from her grandmother.
When her grandmother passed, Marie took up the quilting mantle for herself, carrying on the family tradition and making quilts for each and every new family member. She still considers her grandmother to be her creative inspiration and remembers her as always making something (quilts, paintings, crochet projects, etc.).
After a sprained ankle complicated quilting with her domestic, Marie decided it was time to try out longarming and quilting automation. While she took to both right away, she noticed a gap in the quilting automation education space and started an in-home help group where she helped other quilters get the hang of their quilting systems. This group eventually evolved into Marie teaching classes at her local quilt shop and then founding her own company, The Quilted Poodle, where she tries to create a no-judgement learning space through Zoom and social media.
Marie Bard-Curtis shows you two adorable and time-saving ways to finish a baby quilt using Quilter’s Creative Touch 6.
