Missie Carpenter of Traditional Primitives has been sewing in one form or another since she was about 10 years old. Starting with tiny clothes for her Wishnick Troll Doll, she moved on to clothing
construction and English smocking when her children were young, and now has a passion for quilting.
Majoring in Fashion Merchandising at the University of Missouri,
she was exposed to design using fabric and drawing, and has stayed with it ever since. She has found her favorite style of stitching and settled on appliqu , wool appliqu , punchneedle and
English paper piecing.
A natural innovator, Missie developed a unique method of basting
English paper piecing with starch, and created some original notions
she uses for appliqu and English paper piecing
Her design style is traditional with a touch of primitive texture, and she has a unique way of using cottons and woolens to create quilts, wall hangings and other projects.
Missie enjoys sharing her knowledge with quilting students and wants each personfind ways to make the process easy and
enjoyable, offering options as she teaches.
She has been published in the AQS Engagement Calendar,
Quilts & More, Quiltmania, Simply Vintage and Primitive Quilts and Projects, and has been a guest on The Quilt Show (Episode 2412) and Quilter On Fire .
Missie is now living the dream designing traditional fabrics with a touch of primitive style for Marcus and finds this aspect of design very rewarding.
