It’s so wonderful to see your work. What an artist!!!
Congratulations on the birth of your son. Sounds like a wonderful joy in your life.
Bill and I are retired, and I have become a quilter. I am just an ordinary quilter, but it gives me such great satisfaction. Much of my joy comes not only from the process, but the community of creative and VERY talented quilting friends.
Carey gave me your book for Christmas several years ago.
My wishes to you, your family, and your wonderful creativity.
Your creations are a gift for those who experience them. The colors, forms and amazing details capture mood so effectively. They speak grace and beauty. Thank you for expressing your talent and manifesting such works. Parenting will expand your vision and you’ll discover seeing in a new way. Glad you are finding connections here, as your roots deepen may magic nourish your muse. I’m thankful to cross your path, your color filled whimsical path! Looking forward to exploring color togethter!
I was very sorry to hear that “Quilting Arts” magazine pulled the article they were going to do about you and your work. I was looking forward to the issue.
Wonderful presentation of your work. The commissioned portrait is a great idea & lovely execution (good business model!) It sounds as if you are thriving in Eugene, but we still miss you in Seattle.
Your work is stunning! I also have a website: myheirloommemoirs.com Somehow, I think they are connected i.e. connecting “the dots” in one’s life. Keep up this deep soul work.
your work is absolutely wonderful – my favorite is your “small series” – breathtaking- keep up the great work – staying home and playing with your son has not hurt your art that for sure.
I will keep checking in to see when you go back to teaching,.
I love your new pieces – especially the portrait of you and Elliot! I anxiously await your new work and wish you well. It will be a challenge to balance parenting and art on a daily basis, but I know you can do it, Margot!! Much love to all of you. Molly.
As per usual, GREAT work. Glad you had that precious time with your son. That’s such a gift. You’re so talented. Glad to hear you’re back in the studio.
Hello, I just started watching Six Feet Under and was intrigued by your “self portrait” of Claire. Well, I’ve been browsing your gallery and I love what I’m seeing. You’re very talented. Nate
Hi, Margot. YOur mom saw an article about me in the News and Observer and sent me your link. Your work is very beautiful. And I love the car! Like you, I grew up in Boston, went to the Museum a lot, but my mom got the MFA from the museum school and went on to do glass art. I was studying to be a ballet dancer. Anyway, I came to art quilting in a roundabout way, but now that I’m here, I’m lovin’ it. Keep doing what you’re doing–it’s very good. Have you found any good galleries to represent you out West?
Wow, I just found your website through the Kim Polla Workshop website. I am going to start keeping track where your teaching and see if I can make it to one of your classes someday. I am blown away at your wonderful art!!!
Dear Margot,
I found your website by accident and I’m so happy that I did. Many years ago, when you and your dad were moving, you gave Sam my youngest son an old Garfield the Cat sketchbook of yours. He colored in & out of your lovely sketches, carrying it with him to first grade. How I wish I had saved those drawings. Both yours & his.
Seeing your gallery today I am awestruck by your work. It is truly beautiful and brilliant.
Kristel
Margot…
I miss you….Gerry and I were just talking about you yesterday, and the day before and….anyway…. I cannot believe how incredibly talented and brilliant you are….you should be RICH…
Much Love,
Jay
I am so glad to have recieved your email! I really love the way you capture light and give your subjects weight (and all this with fabric!) You really have a beautiful and unique techinique that gives me a whole new respect for fabric artists. Thank you for opening my eyes!
Margot – it was really wonderful meeting you.
Your websites are fantastic. You display your artwork in such a beautiful and clear fashion. I will definitely be checking back to see your next works. Plus, I hope to view your quilt on show at the Puyallup Fair.
We were so glad Joanna was able to get in touch with us recently and let us know about your website. We enjoyed scrolling through the gallery. You’ve come a long way. Congratulations on your recent marriage. We both remember you fondly- you and Joanna were indeed two of Carol’s most favorite students.
Margot, My cousin in Kalamazoo sent me the link to your site. She works with your future sister-in-law. My comment to cuz was,”Your co-worker’s bro is a lucky guy: marrying a pretty and talented woman.” Very sensual work.
Thank you for keeping me on your list. Its been a while since I’ve seen your work. I am captivated! Your art has grown emotionally and developed wings – so rich!
what is all of this Seattle stuff about? Guess you must have moved from LA?
Much love to you,
Barbara
Another talent of yours of which I was unaware! I mainly apply my sewing skills to dressmaking. I would love to see, or perhaps collaborate on a fabric portrait that could be worn as a garment. Beautiful work!
Margot, You have amazing talent for showing your emotions through art. You pieces are inspiring and there is so much energy coming from your work. I wish you the best in Seattle. I have lived here all my life and cherish all that the Pacific NorthWest offers. You have found your home and when we met you were so grounded. Best of wishes. Your art will be a success here in Seattle.
Matt and Scott
Thank you for sharing your beautiful, unique, and amazing artwork with us! It was such a pleasure to help you move your quilts back to your studio from the Seattle gallery. We feel privileged to have seen your talent first hand!
Can’t wait to meet you at your artist’s reception and see these lovely works in person. They have such a luminous quality online, they must be incredible in real life!
margot: every time i go through this i am stunned and overwhelmed at your creative energy. the unique qualities, the sensual feelings that the images and fabric evoke are splendid. i am so proud of your accomplishments. i wish i knew some folks other than dentists in seattle. glad you are finding seattle to your liking. my love to you and bill. neal
Your work is so unique. It just goes to show how the creative mind can see art in something as simple as fabric. How beautiful these are – how loudly they speak. I would be first in line at a showing if you ever came to Houston.
How inspiring! I’m an art major turned quilter and still finding my way. Your creativity is fabulous and color tones so light-filled. Your figures just GLOW!
Hi Margot! You’re work is simply breathtaking. Decker told me to look up your site, and I am so pleased that I did. You should sell your work to Burke Williams! ha ha Very intriguing! Love, Shauna
Dear Margot,
What a pleasure to have you on the QuiltArt list and to see your creations. I forwarded your site to my friend so she could drink in your fiber images. Magnificent. Thanks for sharing and continue!
Love,
Marlene
Your work is absolutely phenomenal! The quilts look like photographs they are so detailed. I am fascinated by your technique and the fact that you hand sew everything. Wish that I had the time since hand stitching is my preference.
There’s a picture of Bill in the spa employee lounge. So what do I need to go to some exhibit for when I can just go to the Burke Williams breakroom for my art?
I know somebody who works at LACMA and told her about your upcoming show. She checked out the web site and thinks you’re very talented. She said she’d come to the exhibit.

Congratulations on a beautiful web-site. Your work remains fabulous. Miss having you here in the Seattle area. Wishing you more great successes.
Margot, thank you so much for putting up the website. “Afternoon” is so beautiful, biased as my opinion might be, Richard.
I just Googled you. You’re everywhere!
Your art is Awesome… the Vatican should commission you to do the rest of their ceilings.
It’s always so lovely to see your work. Just stunning! Best of luck!
Hi, Margot.
Best wishes. Glad to still be in touch. Your works are lovley!!!

Dear Margot!
Wow, your best creation yet! What a beautiful baby boy.
Your work is getting better and better. Congratulations to a wonderful lady.

Your work is fantastic, for the artistic quality — interesting compositions, expert lifelike portraiture–
as well for your unique quilting medium.

Hi Margot,
You make beautiful art!
REALLY ENJOYED IT. IT REALLY IS A ONE-OF A KIND ARTWORK. SO UNIQUE AND SO EXPRESIVE. TRULY INSPIRING.
Your work is so unique. It just goes to show how the creative mind can see art in something as simple as fabric. How beautiful these are – how loudly they speak. I would be first in line at a showing if you ever came to Houston.
Margot I think your work is fabulous done by layering cloth to achieve the look you want. It must be awesome to see in person.
Your work is gorgeous, Margot.
How inspiring! I’m an art major turned quilter and still finding my way. Your creativity is fabulous and color tones so light-filled. Your figures just GLOW!
I’m so inspired by your work. Thank you for sharing it. You have raised art quilting to a higher level. Thank you.
I love your work. Very artistic. I’m so glad you have been recognized and are having a showing. I wish I could see it in person.
Incredible work!
Learn of you through Quiltart. I wish I could see the works in person, as they are awesome on the screen.
Amazing!
I love the way you have moved away from the flat applique look that has bedevilled quilting for so many years. Beautiful website and work.
Hi Margot! You’re work is simply breathtaking. Decker told me to look up your site, and I am so pleased that I did. You should sell your work to Burke Williams! ha ha Very intriguing! Love, Shauna

WOW!! Such breath taking pieces of work.
Mindboggling. I can hardly believe that so much artistic talent resides in just one individual. Incredible work (and I OWN ONE!!!)
I’m left speechless at the fine detail and life like shading—brilliant work!
Stunning! Wish I could get to CA to see your show in person. I know it will be a huge success!

I am in awe. I hope someday to see your work in person. It is absolutely incredible. You have such talent. Kathy in Hayesville, NC
Your work is absolutely phenomenal! The quilts look like photographs they are so detailed. I am fascinated by your technique and the fact that you hand sew everything. Wish that I had the time since hand stitching is my preference.

Outstanding. Thanks for helping move the fiber medium into art.
