the "sea of Linus quilts" on my lawn
Hi!
My name is Margaret Solomon Gunn. I learned to sew nearly 35 years ago. My mother first taught me to embroider, and then to make clothing and pillows. In college, I made my first bed quilt, and have not turned back. In 2009, with over 125 quilts made, I decided to turn my overwhelming passion for sewing lovely fabrics into a business. I make quilts ranging in size from small wall hangings and throw pillows, to table runners and placemats, to custom quilts to fit beds of all sizes. I own a long arm quilting machine capable of custom quilting up to a king sized quilt (max width top 125″). Though I certainly do plenty of all-over or pantograph designs for my quilting clients, my love is to design & create unique custom quilting.
Over the last five years, I have been an avid supporter of Project Linus. I have made just over 100 quilts for this charity. I also enjoy making vintage-looking smocked dresses for my daughter, and any other hand sewn items my home demands.
I was selected by Handi Quilter to be a part of their 2011-2012 advertising campaign. You may have seen me in some of their magazine ads lastyear, as well as in their banners at large trade shows!
