So very sorry to hear that Margie has passed. She was such a sweet lady, with an instant smile and beautiful laugh and always eager to help anyone. I have special memories joining several friends from the quilt guild and travelling with our sewing machines to Sisters, Oregon for a week of fun and fabric. Margie will be missed by her many friends. Rest in peace in fabric heaven, dear Margie.
