Born in Chicago, IL, Mary Kay Fosnacht graduated from Illinois Benedictine University with degrees in Music Education and Sacred Music. In the early 90’s she and her husband and two children moved to Overland Park, KS. As she said after the move, “My husband went to work, the kids went to school, and I went to the fabric store!” Thus began her quilting journey.

Mary Kay enjoys the entire process of quilt making from conception to label, especially the creative aspect of taking a thought and making it tangible. She uses mainly commercial cotton fabric in a representational style, but also does abstract and more recently, is creating with a modern aesthetic.

The recipient of many local and national awards, Mary Kay is an accomplished quilter. Several of her quilts have been juried into gallery and museum exhibits around the country.
