Marcia Harmening of Happy Stash Quilts lives in Reno, Nevada, with her husband, Mike, and youngest daughter Robin. She is a quilt pattern designer, lecturer, and instructor.
Marcia fell in love with quilting 20 years ago as a means of staving off insanity during the long, dark Alaska winters. She found that colorful fabric combined with colorful friendships is indeed the perfect solution for surviving the snowy, monochromatic season. In 2010, after 23 years in Alaska, Marcia and her husband and three children relocated to Reno, Nevada, where they are soaking in an unbelievable abundance of sunshine.
Marcia has more than 50 patterns and two additional books in publication. Her work appears regularly in quilting magazines. See her complete collection at happystashquilts.com.
