wonderful, the choice
of stories was good
and the performance
polished. I liked the

participatory elements
throughout..."

Young and old,

delightfully engaging
and entertaining."

"My family thinks the
Story Quilters are
wonderful. The way
they put their whole
heart and body into
their stories adds a new
dimension to our
enjoyment, sparking my
children's imaginations.
For days after one of
their concerts, my
children will act out the
stories and make up new
ones of their own."
-Russel Frank
columnist and folklorist

"Each is a gifted
storyteller in her
own right, but together they have
taken tandum storytelling to
new heights of excellence. They
each play off of each other
very well and their timing is
perfect. Their storytelling
is beautifully performed
together, always leaving the
sense of story intact and flowing"
- Pamela Greene, Librarian &
Family Storytelling

duo travels throughout the western United States to schools (from
pre-school to university), libraries and numerous regional
festivals. Their appearances include the Mariposa Story Telling
Festival, Beverly Hills Public Library, Berkeley Public Library and the
California Reading and Literature Project. They are also the
"village story tellers" for Strawberry Music Festivals.
