                                                     George Siciliano


I’m a United States Marine and served on active duty from 1961-1966). I was assigned to the United States Marine Drum & Bugle Corps (The Commandants Own) in Washington DC.  After my separation from active duty (Marines NEVER really get separated), and as a hobby, I taught children how to play a horn at the Washington DC Police Boys Club. In the 90’s I marched in a fire house Senior Drum & Bugle Corps on Long Island, New York.


In September of 1997 I took up quilting (my wife's passion). I decided to specialize in variations of the ‘log cabin’ block because I saw the endless design possibilities. Currently, I have over 150 variations of the log cabin block on my computer.

(Sometimes called "The Saint" for allowing George in her sewing studio!)

Virginia Siciliano has been quilting for over 50 years. She enjoys taking traditional patterns and using them in unique ways. She has a wonderful color sense and finds that each quilt she makes challenges this sense. Upon selecting the color palette her next challenge is fabric choice and placement. 

She is part of the fast disappearing breed of quilters who feel that hand quilting is the   exciting and fulfilling part of the quilting process. She is nationally recognized for her beautiful hand quilting. 


Virginia shares her quilt studio with her husband (over 55 years), George, and as of this day, they are still talking.





Two of George’s and one of Virginia’s quilts were selected to be part of the permanent collection of the “National Quilt Museum”  in Paducah, KY.  We are the first husband and wife so honored.
