MAUREEN GUARDINO
I was introduced to sewing at a young age, and that early start led me to open a custom drapery and upholstery business. I loved the creativity it allowed me, and after closing my business, I found myself missing that creative outlet. That’s when I discovered quilting—and a new love was born.
Shortly after, I purchased my first long-arm machine, a Handi Quilter Amara 20 with Pro Stitcher. I love the versatility it offers, allowing me to choose between the precision of the Pro Stitcher and the freedom of free-motion quilting. I don’t stick to just one style—I enjoy both traditional and modern patterns.
Today, I’m the president of my local quilt guild, where I get to share my passion with others. When I’m not quilting, I’m either teaching quilting or traveling with my husband, always finding new inspiration along the way.
