MEET NATALIE
Natalie is a dynamic teacher known for her expertise in quilting, embroidery, and sewing. You can find her on MSQC’s YouTube channel, Triple Play, The Final Stitch, Quilting 101, and the Embroidery series.
She began sewing during her childhood when her mother, Jenny, taught her and her sisters to sew. She loved it, and has been stitching ever since. Alongside her roles as a devoted mother and seamstress, Natalie finds joy in painting and creating designs with stained glass.
Natalie also finds solace and rejuvenation in the great outdoors, indulging in her love for running, hiking, gardening and immersing herself in the beauty of nature as often as she can.
T-SHIRT DESIGN CONTEST
Using the theme - 30 years of Friendship & Quilting - seven members submitted designs for the 2025 t-shirt. With a design featuring a birthday cake, Wendy J. won the contest and will a free t-shirt. Her design will be printed in white on a royal blue shirt.
