Ann tells the story about her grandmother, Marjorie Peterson, who was an orphan train rider. In 1906, she rode the orphan train to northern Minnesota, where she was taken by a family that changed her name to Marjorie and indentured her as a many at the age of 8. Ann will share excerpts from her grandmother's autobiography while referring to the blocks of a special quilt that she made in her grandmother's memory.
Ann Zemke's passion for quilt making began in 1972 when she took her first quilt making class through a community education program. Her mother wanted to attend the quilt making class but unable to, she asked Ann to take the class and teach her what she learned. Little did Ann know that she was about to embark on a three-decade quilt making journey.
Ann has handcrafted over 150 unique quilts. She offers a full range of custom quilting services from design to finishing and commissioned quilts. An accomplished hand quilter, Ann's specialty is fine hand quilting unfinished vintage quilt tops.

Mary Lou explains avenues of creativity, the personality of the creative person and how you can stretch and become more creative with your thoughts and your quilts. Prepare to be inspired and to go away thinking of things you want to do to be a new “creative YOU.”
Mary Lou Weidman began her quilting life at her Grandmother's knee when she learned first to do yoyos and later on to piece nine patches, half square triangles and then Grandmother's Flower garden blocks (her favorite pattern).
She has written three large books "Whimsies and Whynots," "Everyday Angels," and "Quilted Memories." Along with that she owns a pattern company that she does booklets and patterns for. Hoochy Mama quilts and Flower Power are two publications and technique books that are popular as she travels and teaches how to's.
Mary Lou has traveled across the world to many countries and all but about 7 states (US) and 3 Provinces (Canada). Her goal is to get each quilter to do a Story quilt about themselves and who and what they love so that in the future, people will know about this quilter and what was important to them. It is her belief that Story quilts will be researched and held valuable in the future.
