Marilyn Badger

Award winning quilt artist Marilyn Badger hand pieced her first quilt in 1978.  Little did she know that would lead to a phenomenally successful 30-year career in the world of competition quilting, as well as traveling around the United States, Canada, Australia and Japan, teaching longarm classes and representing APQS at all the national and international quilt shows. As a result, she became known as a pioneer in the longarm industry. She appeared on many PBS and HGTV quilting shows over a 12-year span, and her work has been featured in countless national and international publications and special exhibits around the United States. Her passion for quilting will always be a huge part of her life and she invites you to join her as she shares her love for this art form.
