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: Saturdays, some Wednesdays

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.

Nancy

Nancy, an award winning quilter, started quilting with her buddies the "yo-yo's" over 20 years ago. 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!

Days in the Shop: Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays

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. She teaches GQC’s Beginning Quilting and loves getting students addicted to quilting!
