The Quilt Show is sad to report the passing of an appliqué titan and much beloved teacher, Elly Sienkiewicz.
Elly was an inspiration and joy to all and a number of TQS guests have responded to her passing.
Mark Lipinski - "Elly Sienkiewicz was one of those rare people who instantly made the world feel warmer simply by being in it. She was sweet, gracious, endlessly interesting, and had such an open, welcoming spirit. I feel incredibly lucky to have taken a few classes with her over the years. They were joyful, educational, entertaining, and completely without pretense — very much a reflection of Elly herself."
Allison Aller - I saw her at Quilt Market once, sat down with her and we quoted poetry to each other. It was such a beautiful encounter, I'll never forget it or her. God rest you, Elly!
Bonnie K Hunter - "I loved meeting her and chatting with her. What a wonderful lady and quite the legacy she leaves with us."
Leni Wiener - "Amazingly talented, her work was outstanding. Truly a quilting legend."
Paula Doyle - "Elly was amazing! Hope she’s teaching classes to the Heavenly Quilters now!"
