Marjan Kluepfel
Fabric is Majan Kluepfel's Art.
She’s held quilting and creativity workshops and lectures for more than 25 years and loves teaching her techniques to inspiring budding artists and meeting quilters from all over the world.
Marjan is an artist who uses fabric and thread as her medium instead of paper and paint....and a sewing machine instead of a brush. The texture, color and prints of fabrics fascinate her and often give her inspiration for a new design. She seldom draws out a quilt plan, instead allowing the fabrics and textures to lead her.
Most of her designs are organic. They’re influenced by her love of nature and all its wonders.
She grew up in the Netherlands and has lived in Florida, Hawaii, South Carolina and Australia. She now makes her home in Northern California. Her inspiration comes from all the natural wonders she’s encountered through her travels.

Sandra Bruce
Sandra began her love of sewing at about age 8 when her mother taught her to use her treadle sewing machine. She got her own machine as a teenager and never stopped sewing. In 1988, while living in the San Francisco Bay Area, she started a quilting “bee” with quilt artist Therese May and discovered the fun of working on collaborative projects.
She lives in Grass Valley, California with Gary, her partner of 40 years. Her son, Matteo, is one of her favorite quilt subjects. Her Gammill, a 14-foot-long arm machine named Dixie, is located in her quilting studio in historic downtown Grass Valley.
She thinks teaching is very rewarding, loves sharing her knowledge of quilting and is going to show us her “Scrap Vortex” in her workshop
