Instructor

Michell, Marti
Marti Michell is often introduced as a pioneer in the current quilt revival. In fact, in 1972 when Marti and her husband Richard started Yours Truly, Inc., a patchwork kit company, there was no quilt industry. Since then, she has contributed to the industry in almost every capacity. Whether she is participating as a teacher, quilter, author, publisher, manufacturer, designer, consultant, judge, or quilt collector, Marti’s enthusiasm for and love of quilting is always evident. Since 1995 the Michells have manufactured the From Marti Michell line of acrylic templates and specialty rulers for rotary cutting. In addition to the 2004 Silver Star, a prestigious “lifetime achievement” award given at the International Quilt Festival in Houston, Marti also received the first Michael Kile Award given for commitment to creativity and excellence in the quilting industry in 1991.

Kaleidoscope quilt designs showcase the illusion of curves with straight line sewing. The Kaleidoscope block has only 12 pieces per block. It is easy enough for confidant beginners, but the design variations and possibilities tantalize even the most advanced quiltmakers. The From Marti Michell Kaleido-Ruler includes guidelines for cutting all of the pieces in the block in many sizes. Best of all, Marti brings rulers to class for you to use. The class covers the basic cut and sew process, but includes a short trunk show to show off the versatility of the Kaleidoscope block.
