Meet MariLee, your custom quilt creator
At MariLee Sews, based in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, I believe that every quilt tells a unique story. What started as a passion for sewing has blossomed into a business of crafting warm, farm-style quilts that bring comfort and beauty into your home. I work closely with you through every step of our personalized design process to ensure your vision comes to life perfectly.
Crafted with care, stitched for life
Every pattern is thoughtfully arranged and every stitch is carefully placed to guarantee a high-quality finish. We use soft neutral tones, premium materials, and traditional techniques to deliver unmatched comfort and enduring style.
Dear Marilee,
Over the years, the two different dinosaur-themed, twin-bed-sized quilts with matching pillowcases that you crafted as first birthday gifts for my two little grandnephews have become absolute treasures. The boys, who are now 5 and 2 years old and live in San Antonio, Texas, absolutely love them. The quilts are beautifully vibrant, exceptionally well-made, and have truly become treasured family heirlooms.
Interestingly, instead of using them on their beds as comforters, the boys have opted to display them as wall hangings, which adds incredible texture and visual beauty to their bedrooms. Their parents mentioned that they get so many compliments and inquiries about the backstory of the quilts, as well as about you—our very talented artist, craftswoman, and quilter friend from northern New Mexico.
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful talent with our family.
Warm regards,
Tina Marie-Santa Fe
Marilee,
Thank you very much for your excellent machine quilting that you did for the4 t-shirt quilt tops we brought you. You were very easy to work with and made the vision of our quilts a reality. I will recommend you to anyone I know who needs machine quilting.
