Michelle Marvig has been an inspiration for quilters during her 18 years in the industry.

During this time she has published over 80 quilt projects in a selection of titles and co-authored Rapt in Borders with Caroline Price. An accomplished teacher, she imparts her knowledge to hundreds of students every year. Michelle is a regular contributor with Quilters Companion, as well as designing quilts. She also puts products through their paces for the Road Test column in the magazine. In 2006 Michelle, together with Caroline Price, presented the second Quilters Companion DVD - Bias and Blooms. She followed up with a second DVD for a Mariner’s Compass Quilt featuring foundation piecing and a third DVD for machine piecing, a Lone Star. In November 2009 Michelle released her first line of fabric, Suzani, which she designed for Charles Parsons. She led the Quilters Companion Quilting tours to the USA in October 2008, April, October 2009, 2010 and 2011, France and Britain 2009 and 2010 and Japan 2011.
