Tour Leader

MADONNA RANDT

MaDonna Randt has been quilting for 25 years. Originally, MaDonna owned a quilt shop in Naperville, IL before moving to Arizona with her husband and 2 daughters and thriving as a cosmetologist. 10 years ago, she received the opportunity to take ownership of a quilting store in Mesa, AZ. Her love for quilting, sewing, and embroidery wouldn’t allow her to say no. Thus, Mad B’s Quilt & Sew was born.
Throughout those 10 years, she has grown her business by focusing on bringing the classic quilting generation into this modern world and vice versa. She has joined with strong partners in the industry like Bernina, OESD, Sew Kind of Wonderful, Kimberbell and more to bring her customers the best experience possible. She is known for her stellar fabric choices, creative solutions to tough patterns, her growing skills in longarm quilting, and the classes she teaches. She has an arsenal of tips and tricks and loves to share!
