Mid-Appalachian
Quilters, Inc. (MAQ) has been hosting an annual quilting seminar each
July since 1987. We offer a variety of classes presented by some of the
best teachers in the Mid-Atlantic area.
Members of MAQ reside primarily in Maryland, Pennsylvania, West Virginia
and Virginia, but some return every year from more distant states, visiting
with cherished friends and learning new quilting techniques.

Vice President, Betty Isemann |
Betty lives in Mount Airy,
Maryland. She has been quilting since 1982. Not knowing any better,
she pieced and quilted her first queen-sized quilt on her
Featherweight. Her day job is working as a sales person for
Frederick Fiber Optics selling fiber optics products. She also runs
her own longarmer business, Quilted for You! She is active in two
local guilds, Four County Quilters and Friendship Star Quilters as
well as Vice President for MAPMQG, a professional longarm guild.
Besides quilting, Betty enjoys crocheting and walking, but not at
the same time! She participates in and raises money for both Avon
2-Day Walk for Breast Cancer and Susan G Komen 3-Day for the Cure.
Her favorite color is green and her favorite quilt block is whatever
block she is working on that day! |

Secretary,
Karen Fleming-Michael |
Karen lives in Poplar
Springs, Maryland, and is a member of the Four County Quilt Guild.
A quilter for just 7 years, she heads to Iowa for a week every year
to quilt with five ladies she met at her first-ever quilt camp. In
addition to quilting, Karen loves running 1/2 marathons and spends a
lot of her free time training for her next race. Yellow must be her
favorite color because most of the rooms in her house are in one
shade or another of it, but she hasn't yet made a quilt in that
color. Her favorite quilt block: Ohio Star because her husband is a
graduate of Ohio State University. |

Treasurer, Louise Harris |
Louise Harris lives in
Middletown Maryland where she raised two children with her husband
Michael. Her quilting story goes back to her childhood when she
learned how to sew from her mother and grandmothers. Although she
made her first quilt during the quilting resurgence of 1975 she
didn’t quilt again for 25 years until her husband mistakenly bought
her a Bernina Quilting Edition sewing machine for her birthday and
three years after that her daughter needed a bed cover for college.
Louise taught herself to quilt from books, but soon realized it was
more fun to learn from other quilters and enthusiastically joined
Four County Quilt Guild in Mt Airy. |
