Mary Smallegan
Custom Quilts Unlimited
Mary Smallegan was born and raised in West Michigan. She
started sewing at 12. Graduated to Quilting in the late
80"s.She was working on a production line when she was
laid off and decided to start quilting fulltime. Because
of the cost of sending out my quilts out to be Quilted I
began Quilting on my domestic machine. She soon
discovered it was as easy to do. Even after opening my
own quilt shop 5 years ago she continues to use a
domestic sewing machine to quilt my quilts. I love to
share this with others so they can make more affordable
gifts.
