His work with a senior citizens group won the "Viewer's Choice" award at
the The State Guild of New Jersey Quilt Convention (the largest all volunteer
show on the East Coast) and had been commissioned by The National
Council of Jewish Women to design, teach and construct a quilted huppa
(a wedding tent or canopy) project for the group which has been completed.

A veteran, Emmy Award nominated and Cable Ace Award winning, talk
show producer and programming executive, he worked on shows such as
Oprah, The View, The Joan River’s Show, Attitudes and Ricki Lake (to name
but a few). Mark has also conceived and developed an innovative magazine
for quilters named Mark Lipinski's Quilter's Home, which is published by
CKMedia and is available on newsstands and by subscription.

Locally, Mark is the past Vice President of the State Quilt Guild of New Jersey,
the past Vice President and Quilt Airing Coordinator for The Common Threads
Quilters, and member of The Nubian Heritage Quilters, The Garden State
Quilters and The Brownstone Quilters.

On a national level, Mark is a member of the Quilt Professionals Network,
Studio Quilt Art Associates, and the American Quilter's Society.

A native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Mark has called “home” to San Francisco
(where he was a social worker at The Children’s Hospital of San Francisco
and headed up the milieu program for the Adolescent Day Treatment Center),
Miami, Chicago, and Manhattan.

Mark and his family moved from the hustle and bustle of New York City into a
historical 1864 “fixer upper” in Long Valley, New Jersey where he raises honey
bees and laying hens when he’s not being ‘called’ to his design studio (where
his family will one day find him dead and crushed by the too many bolts of
fabric and years worth of magazines and books that he has, can’t throw away,
and will never use).
