Maggie Bonanomi
I grew up moving around, my father was in the Air Force. I married my hubby while living in California and after a few years he returned to the Army. We moved around, with two tours in Germany and stateside in Colorado, Oklahoma and Kansas. I know reside in Lexington, Missouri with my hubby of 50+ years. We live in a pre civil war home dated about 1841-1845. I have 2 grown daughters with their own families and wonderful grand children for us to enjoy. Last year we finally got ourselves a West Highland Terrier puppy names Lulu, she really runs the place, we only pretend that we're in charge!
I would say my style is primitive, designs simple. Color and design are what I usually am known for and are most important to me. I enjoy a relaxed atmosphere and love to share many timesaving tips I have found. I love the whole process of a project from design to every loop or stitch. I like to incorporate other fabrics into my applique, I even added some velvet to a hooked mat once.
I have been tearing and cutting my wool strips, I began to do that years ago when I was trapped at home due to a bad snow storm. I'd just started to hook with a 9 cut (about 11 years ago) well I haven't ever gone back. I like the look of torn strips in my rugs.
I have been making wool applique projects for 20 years and nearly have hooked rugs that long as well. I learned rug hooking form Emma Lou Lais, she was a wonderful teacher. I have had the opportunity to design applique projects for Linda Brannock of Star Quilt Co, Renee Nannaman of Need'l Love, Blackbird designs as well as Blackberry Primitives. I have written 8 books with the Kansas City Star. I have also been published in American Patchwork and Quilts magazine as well as Primitive Quilts and Projects and Quiltmania, a French publisher bought my first two books to publish in France. I have traveled around the country to teach, which I enjoy very much! I went to France in 2012 as well to promote my books and taught 3 workshops while there. Thank goodness for interpreters!!!
The week of September 21-26th is sold out! You can still sign up for September 16-21st, only a few spots are available

We are so excited to meet you!
