Meet Your Host
Hello there! I’m Mary Davis of Mary Go Round Quilts. I am a quilter, pattern designer, and instructor. I have always been a crafty person. I started out as a garment sewer when I was younger. I discovered quilting after my mom picked up the hobby later in life. This was fascinated, and I wanted to learn more. After purchasing a book, I taught myself to quilt by making a sampler wall hanging. I've been quilting for almost 30 years. I love everything about this hobby. From piecing to free motion quilting. I’m fascinated by different threads and yarns and using them to achieve beautiful free motion quilted designs.
My goal with this summit is to take the fear out of free motion quilting. Make your dreams of finishing your own quilts a reality. In this summit you'll gain the knowledge and confidence to create beautiful quilts to pass down to family and friends.

Here's what some past attendees have had to say!
Pat W. - Wanted to tell you that I thought the Summit was Fantastic. I learned all sorts of ideas to help me quilt. I really appreciate all the effort you made in order for this to have taken place. All the speakers had lots of information to offer.
Vicki H. - Thank you so much for hosting the FMQ Summit. I am a struggling beginner FMQuilter and had nearly given up hope of learning. I’m grateful that the courses were set up to watch in order. I would’ve skipped a couple of them thinking I would NEVER try a certain pattern, only to find they looked much easier than I initially thought. I appreciate the courses being “bite-sized” and not too overwhelming and enjoyed the many freebies.
Audrey P. - Wonderful variety of creative patterns and inspiration . Lots of information for after summit success/information. I look forward to the next summit where I expect I will upgrade.
Beverly B. - Great information in short videos, so there was not a huge time commitment (i.e. 1 hour videos). They were just long enough to learn something new and pique my interest to follow the teacher and find more videos! I was very pleased with the content.
Nancy E. - This was a worthwhile Summit. I loved the fact that I was able to upgrade. This provided me with time to watch and re-watch those sessions that I missed. Yes, there were some technical problems, they were worked out and I would attend again next year.
Barbara H. - The Summit was well organized and offered a variety of topics and useful techniques. The speakers were very knowledgeable and should be invited back for future Summits.
Helen F. - The Summit was a great way to link up with like minded people from across the world & be introduced to different tutors & new ideas. The different time zone was not an issue due to the pre-recorded nature of sessions and having a few days after the close meant I could catch up/revisit on anything had missed. Thank you Mary for organising, a huge undertaking that was appreciated.
Carol K. - Thank you for putting together this wonderful, useful workshop. It has been a blessing to me and will be to those who receive the quilts quilted with what I learn here!!
Darlene B. - Hey, Mary! I just wanted to thank you SO MUCH for putting these video lessons together. This was a fabulous way to get small bites of information...with the option to continue with the free lessons and resources offered by the quilters. My mind is swirling with all these new ideas and I can't wait to try them.
