Mary Stiewig
Fiber Artist

About the Artist:

Mary Stiewig came to the world of Quilts after many brief interludes with crafts such as knitting, crochet, crewel embroidery, rug-making, and macramé.  A chance beginning quilt-making class with an amazing artist then led to a 30-year journey filled with the creation of hundreds of quilts, and leading to her current career as a Fiber Artist.  From the beginning she loved making quilts but found it difficult to follow patterns exactly, always wishing to “change it up” and make them her own.  Rather than working exclusively with cotton, she now uses a multitude of fibers to design and create her own representational and abstract pieces.
