Most LDS communities have all sorts of crafts and projects for home-making on a regular basis, and Marie is LDS. Also, coming from a large LDS family, it wouldn't surprise me if she were involved in quilting and sewing. After I thought about it for a while, it isn't any different than Matthew McWhatzhisname promoting cars, or Drew Barrymore promoting makeup. She has name recognition, and that is something that manufacturers want in a spokesperson. Celebrities are real people with real lives and interests just like you and I.
