Her passing left a big hole in this group of quilters, many of whom had been in- spired by Marge to improve their quilting skills. Quilters gathered mate- rials for her partly-finished quilt. All who were able completed a block or two. As the Hunter’s Star quilt neared completion, friends shared memories of Marge and the skills she had taught them.
