Marge Tucker is an international award-winning quilt artist and quilting instructor. The first quilt she made, over twenty-five years ago, was for friends expecting their first child. “At that time, I didn’t know that quilting would become my passion and now my profession. I feel so fortunate to be able to share and continue the tradition of quilting with my students.” “I started with traditional pieced quilts but am now focused on abstract improvisational design in my work.” Marge has received numerous awards for her quilts including, “Best of Show” at Mancuso Quilt Show Visuals #4 in 2021, “Best use of Color-Innovative Quilts” at the Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival in 2022, “Best Machine Quilting” at QuiltCon 2019 as well as “Best Sewing Machine Workmanship Award – Modern” at the Pacific International Quilt Festival in 2019 as well as numerous other awards for her quilts.
Her quilts have been published in several of Gwen Marston’s book (Minimal Quiltmaking and Free-Range Triangle Quilts). Several quilts have also been featured in the periodical Curated Quilts (Black and White Issue #10 and Collaborate Issue #18. Another quilt, “Burst” was accepted into the Excellence in Fibers 11th Anniversary exhibit.
Marge teaches throughout the United States and also from her studio in Rockland, MA.
