May 2026 Program

Marci Baker

Program & Workshop: Binding
Recognized internationally for her expertise in quilting, Marci enjoys sharing ideas that simplify the process of quilting.
A native of Dallas, Texas, Marci has loved sewing for years, making her first quilt at age 9 and sewing her own clothes in high school and college. She began teaching quilting in 1989 for her local quilting guild and shops. Marci graduated with a bachelor’s degree and master’s degree in math. In 1993, she started Alicia’s Attic with concepts that combine her love of math with her love of quilting. Quilting became a great way to share her knowledge with others.
As an admirer of traditional quilts, Marci was inspired to author books on Not Your Grandmother’s™ Quilts. This series uses traditional patterns people associate with the grandmother and simplifies the technique. She has invented several tools to help make quilting easier for all. Her Know Before You Sew™ solution cards take common problems quilters encounter and provide easy-to-understand solutions.
Marci spends much of the year traveling and teaching classes for quilting guilds and trade shows. Some of Marci’s travels include Canada, Brazil and most recently Dubai.
