David

David made his first Log Cabin block some 32 years ago, and has been quilting ever since. From the beginning, he was captivated by color and how to make sense of all the possibilities. When he began to study Graphic Design, it all started to make sense. David tends to work across techniques, from traditional piecing to foundation paper-piecing to raw edge appliqué. He has had two of his quilts curated into the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum’s exhibits of quilts made by men. David has made many quilts, but his favorite is the one pictured.

Bonnie

Bonnie discovered a love for knitting in the 3rd grade and learned to sew her own clothes in middle school.  Venturing into the quilting world 20 years ago, she discovered & quickly became mesmerized by all of the colors and creations of Kaffe Fassett, Philip Jacobs and Brandon Mably.  Since then she has become an avid collector, and especially enjoys using patterns that allow her to combine as many of their fabrics as possible in one quilt.  Bonnie has just retired from Jeffco Public Schools and is thrilled to be a part of the Golden Quilt Company staff!
 
Days in the Shop:  Hopefully once a week!

Denise

“Tumbling Through 30 Years,” perfectly describes Denise’s quilting journey. These fabrics were purchased over 30 years ago in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.  Denise had never quilted before but had been sewing her entire life so she wanted a new challenge. With this quilt her enthusiasm began to grow and opened the door to the quilting world. Seeing this quilt hang at an Alex Anderson quilt show was a dream come true for Denise.

Marie

Marie joined The Golden Quilt Company in 2015 when a shopping trip turned into a job interview! Her first quilt was made in 1986, a queen sized log cabin for her wedding gift to her husband, Jim...during her final year of law school! Her sewing journey began in garments during 4-H as a young girl, evolving into her wearable art and quilt pattern line- Three Wishes. She won a 2002 CQC Professional award and a 2004 Hoffman Challenge in the Wearable Art Divisions. She joined AAA Creative Sewing’s teaching staff in 1994, teaching machine usage, quilts and quilted garment classes until the stores closed in 2008.

After retiring from her "real" job, Nancy moved to Colorado and opened Golden Quilt Company in 2004. Her love of color is evident in the fabrics the shop carries. Proficient in all piecing techniques, she has made over 500 quilts including most of the shop's samples. She can confidently aid with fabric choices, pattern interpretation, and piecing skills. Her binding skills are awesome too!

Sarah

Sarah started sewing clothing when she was 12, but did not make her first quilt until her daughter went off to college.  Now she is addicted to quilts and makes at least one a month. Her favorites are geometric quilts with lots of pieces and a theme.  Sarah is known for fusing things to her ironing board by mistake.  She is almost always in the shop on Saturday, either as an employee or a customer.  Sarah will tell you which patterns are difficult and which are simpler to sew and she answers questions about drinking water treatment.
