Marble-T Design, LLC is a small partnership of husband-and-wife marbling team Dean and Linda Moran. Hubby Dean started marbling after a three-month search for supplies, just so Linda could have some new fabric for a quilt.
They marble all kinds of fabrics, from cotton to silk, from linen to polyblends. They've been marbling for nearly 20 years and consider themselves good at what they do, but not nearly to the level of the Turkish masters of the art. Dean marbles and sells the fabric, while Linda gets to keep the really great stuff and quilts, making unusual fiber art that has been juried into shows around the country. Lately they have branched into designing new fabrics using marbled patterns as the basis, as well as creating Digital Marbling (TN).
Mission: To study and learn the ancient art of marbling; to help others learn marbling by being free with help and advice, unlike the guilds of the Middle Ages; to continue to improve the creation of unique pieces of fiber art; to celebrate the planet with abstract representations of the earth.

“Drive a nail home and clinch it so faithfully that you can wake up in the night and think of your work with satisfaction,- a work at which you would not be ashamed to invoke the Muse”
-Henry David Thoreau
In our case, it would be the needle or other fiber tool. Drive it home! And, we all thank you for your words, left here to these good folks. Invoke your Muse!
