December 20, 2012 - Evelyn Young
Trunk show and lecture. She is an
award winning quilter and created Marula Designs, quilt patterns featuring
fabric from South Africa. Her quilt,
Monkey Business, was showcased in Love of
Quilting Mar/Apr 2011.
Evelyn Young got hooked on sewing the day
she made a dress for a high school dance
from $5 worth of velvet bought on sale at
Klines’ Department Store in Joliet. After
that came theatrical costuming, more
clothing construction, and eventually
professional alterations, but she never
expected to be a quilter. She watched her
mother trace templates and cut shapes with
scissors. That was not for her. In 1998,
she became an empty nester, discovered
rulers, mats, rotary cutters, long-arm
quilters for hire, and quilt shops with
wonderful fabric. Since then she has made
hundreds of quilts for various purposes –
charity baby and valor quilts, utility lap
and bed quilts for friends, family and
herself, 3 donations to the NQA Little Quilt
Auction, and complex quilts that allow her
to refine skills. She is a traditional
quilter with a fondness for civil war
fabrics and rich colors with depth. She
enjoys fabric acquisition, piecing,
appliqué, and quilting equally and is
delighted when the final stitch in the
binding is complete. Evelyn is an active
member of Hands All Around Quilt Guild of
Central Illinois. She has displayed her
quilts in local quilt shows, the Des Moines
AQS show, and the NQA show in Columbus, OH.
She has written several patterns under the
Marula Designs name; two have been published
in the Fons and Porter magazine.
