The Quilters Circle Podcast: Mary Hertel

The Quilters Circle Podcast text with a woman smiling

You can call me by my nickname “Marney”, but my real name is Mary Hertel.  I design paper pieced patterns.  I am an art instructor, pattern designer, mother and friend. You can find me in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, but I do not have a “brick and mortar” shop. I sell on-line and at Quilt Shows around my area.  You may also find some of my patterns at your local quilt shop. I’ve had a super creative drive all of my life.  My designs are fueled by my past.  Growing up in a rural farm community gave me a love for nature and animals, as you will see from my designs.  My great love for children’s artwork is also evident in my wonky animals…which no doubt comes from teaching children’s art for thirty-five years.  My motto:  “A Day Can’t Go By Without Creating Something…”

    Love your whimsical style, and will be ordering "Dogs Only" and "Dog Lover Quilt" from your site. My Parson Russell Terrier and Mini Pini were Killed January 1st by a mountain lion and coyote...team tagging, due to the USFS Lava Fire which burned for a week,before it was extinguished, causing remaining wildlife to move into neighboring habitat of humans in order to survive. Thank you so much! Marilyn
