Nancy Morrell – Quilting and Sewing
Nancy Morrell is a retired Occupational Therapist Assistant, mother of three adult children, grandmother to nine grandchildren, and great-grandmother to two! She was born in Virginia about one hundred miles from Sparta and has lived in the Northeast United States most of her life, and in Florida twenty years before retiring. Upon retirement she and her husband returned to the mountains within two hours of a son in Boone, NC, and a son and daughter in SC where they spend the winter months.
As a child in Virginia, she has fond memories of watching her Grandmother and Aunt hand quilt beautiful family heirlooms and she was entranced. Her working experience in Occupational Therapy exposed her to using various crafts as therapy for patients to help them achieve their wellness goals.
After her children were grown, she found more time to pursue quilting, sewing, Yoga, reading, dancing, mountain life and crafting. She enjoys making quilts and being active with the Alleghany Quilt Guild. More recently in the past few years, she has become more creative in her quilting and has enjoyed the art and freedom of expression of landscape art and collage quilting.
