Margie Davidson is a quilt artist and surface designer. Her love of colour is joyfully expressed through the fabrics she paints and the quilts she creates.

Teaching is an important part of who Margie is. She has a Bachelor of Education and has taken a variety of art courses. Margie is an entertaining speaker and a supportive instructor. She loves teaching quilters and enjoys sharing ideas about colour theory and design principles to encourage the creation of individual quilts in her classes. Margie also taught children and adults at the Art Gallery of Alberta where she was employed as an educator for six years.

A quiltmaker for over 20 years, Margie turned her attention to designing her own art quilts in 2000 as she prepared for her first solo show in the Discovery Gallery at the Alberta Craft Council in Edmonton. Since that time, her art quilts have been exhibited in local and national shows across Canada as well as in Ireland and the United States.  Margie received awards in the Canadian Quilters’ Association National Juried Show in 2000 and 2004.  She is a member of the Fibre Art Network, a Western Canadian textile co-operative.

Judging the CQA National Juried Show was the highlight of her Quilt Canada experience in Ottawa in 2006. Margie had a wonderful time in St John’s Newfoundland exhibiting and teaching at the Quilt Canada National Conference in June, 2008.  Most recently, she taught classes and judged the CQA National Juried Show at Quilt Saskatchewan in May, 2009.
