Marlene Ball
"Pincushion Lady"
January 13, 1951 - January 23, 2009
Marlene was an avid, talented quilter and most importantly a fine person. She made the beautiful little pincushions for all the past retreats. Marlene is survived by her father, brother, son, daughter, granddaughter and hundreds of friends in and out of the quilting world. Her loss has left a big hole in our hearts and she will be dearly missed.
In Marlene's honor, the pincushions have been retired forever.
