Margie O’Keefe
When Margie moved to Humboldt County in 1984, her friend Geri Fury encouraged her to attend quilting class at Adult Ed with her. She made a few small projects, and finally in 1991, her first big quilt. She has been quilting non-stop ever since! Margie’s love for quilting and teaching has reached far into the quilting community. Some of the words her students use to describe her are user-friendly, encouraging, hostess with the mostess, etc… Margie is a wife and mom as well, with five kids ranging from 42 to 22! She loves color and gets a gleam in her eye when coordinating the colors for her next project. Margie hosts our Girls Night Out on Friday nights and teaches a wide variety of classes. When you take a class with Margie, it usually includes yummy goodies or lunch as Margie is an avid cook as well. It’s no wonder she’s one of our most popular teachers!
