Mary has earned a Bachelor's Degree in Data Processing from Wayne State. For over 20 years, Mary has worked as an accountant. She brought that acute awareness for detail to Country Traditions in 2008. Mary's interest in quilting started while watching her grandmother and great-grandmother sew their blocks together when she was a child. In 1997, she decided to take a basic quilting class and things began to bloom after that. Mary now shares her love for quilting by teaching others the techniques she has learned over the years. She now resides in Scribner with her husband. She has three children and two grandchildren.

Scott obtained a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration from Midland Lutheran College in 2007. Soon after, he became the Creative Center Coordinator for Country Traditions. Scott's love of quilting started with his grandmother. He and his grandmother spent many hours at the sewing machine piecing together fabric. Scott now teaches all the Pfaff owner classes, many of the machine technique classes, and quilting technique classes. Scott lives in Fremont by himself, not even a goldfish. He is active in the Fremont Community and his Church.

Cathy has been with Country Traditions since the winter of 2008. She has always enjoyed learning and teaching. Therefore, it is not surprising that her accomplishments include being an EMT, Cosmetologist, CPR Instructor, and EMS Instructor, just to name a few. Cathy started sewing as a kid and can't remember not sewing. She has now combined her love of sewing with her teaching skills and brought them to the classroom here at Country Traditions.

Sue has earned a Bachelor's Degree from Creighton University. After graduation she worked briefly prior to becoming a stay home mom for her 5 children. In 2006, she brought a passion for quilting to Country Traditions. Sue's love for quilting began with an appreciation of artist whose work she saw in galleries, books, and magazines. In 1992 she took a basic quilting class in an attempt to duplicate the creations she admired. Many classes later, she now teaches the staff and many of the quilt technique classes at Country Traditions. She lives in Bennington with her husband and children.
