Maria Hrabovsky - Maria Michaels Designs

Maria Michaels Designs is a husband and wife design team.

Maria was an elementary school teacher for 10 years. Her mother inspired her interest in sewing. After obtaining his college art degree, Michael went to teacher's college, then  university. He worked briefly in advertising design, taught elementary school for 10 years, then went on to teach high school art.

The inspiration for Maria Michaels Designs came toward the end of 2000 when Maria suddenly  realized that much of her husband's art could be translated into quilting and needlework designs. After designing several patterns from his work, she also began to create some of her own. Visit their website at http://www.mariamichaelsdesigns.com.
