About
Welcome to blue feather quilt studio. My name is Marjorie Busby and I have been a quilter for at least 40 years–or the better part of my life. I live in Carrboro, NC with my husband, Ted, and am the Mom to two wonderful daughters and their husbands and grandmother to their ten children (two sets of twins among them).
I started sewing as a child and won my first sewing machine at the 4-H Dress Revue by stitching a lined wool skirt and knitting a matching cardigan. When my children were born, I took up quilting and did a lot of hand quilting. I also joined the craft cooperative, Womancraft, and began to sell some of the quilts I made.

Machine embroidery is another stitching passion of mine. I bought my first embroidery machine in 2009 and instantly fell in love. Although I purchased the machine so that I could make quilt labels, a whole new world opened to me. I invested in digitizing software and creating my own designs almost immediately. The AccuQuilt GO! die cutting machine is a tool that I use for accurately cutting shapes for piecing quilts–and it also cuts beautiful shapes for machine embroidery applique. This was a marriage made in stitching heaven. And thus, my embroidery business was born.
