Artist Mary Kay Lambert | Layer Cake Hardcover Journal
Life comes in layers — and every single one is delicious in its own right. Sometimes we celebrate by baking from scratch, carefully cutting each piece as we serve the people we love. Other times, the recipe calls for a trip to the store: a cake already frosted, already ready, just waiting to be enjoyed. In the world of quilting, a Layer Cake works the same way — it's a pre-cut package of 10 by 10 inch fabric squares, ready to go the moment inspiration strikes. Whether you're baking a cake or building a quilt, get Mary Kay's Layer Cake Hardcover Journal and start recording your very best. (By the way — Mary Kay bakes a mean cake too.)
Mary Kay Lambert was born in 1952 in a small Iowa county hospital, the daughter of Anna Jeanette Miller and Ralph Waldo Miller — owners of the only grocery store and café in Allendale, Missouri. Growing up at the intersection of hospitality, hard work, and homemade everything, Mary Kay absorbed the spirit of entrepreneurship before she could reach the counter. Her mother, Jeanette, was the heart of that operation: head chef, table server, and a gifted hand-quilter whose needle moved as naturally as breathing.
With her mother's encouragement tucked like a quilt square in her back pocket, Mary Kay purchased her first Juki sewing machine and launched Kay's Quilting in 1987. What followed was a remarkable 25-year chapter as a vendor at Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri, where she and her Vietnam veteran husband, Keith, sold quilts, quilt-related crafts, and handmade home goods until they retired in 2015. Today, Mary Kay quilts more than 300 quilts a year on her Gammill machine — and has meticulously documented every single one of her 12,350+ quilts. Each one, a stitch in the story of her life.
Kay's Quilting — and now her Monarch Shoppe collection — is dedicated to her beloved mother, who passed in 1989. The quilt in Mary Kay's artist portrait? Made by Jeanette Miller when she was in the eighth grade. Some legacies are sewn in fabric.
"One stitch at a time gets it done." — Mary Kay Lambert
