Marianne shares the story of her journey from working in construction to owning one of Montana’s most beloved quilt shops and gathering spaces. We talk about the evolution of The Quilt Gallery under her ownership, how the involvement of her husband and children has made it truly a family business, and the ways her shop fosters creativity and community. Marianne also offers insight into the unique quilting culture of northwest Montana and what keeps her inspired as both a business owner and quilter. Whether you’re a local stitcher or just love hearing the stories behind thriving quilt shops, you won’t want to miss this conversation.
