$My Baltimor Album - I was inspired to make this quilt by Elly\'s first book Spoken without a Word. I bought the book in 1984 and later began making the blocks from Baltimore Beauties and Beyond. Life happens and I only worked on it a bit at a time until 2005 when my quilting group would quilt it if it was a top!! They did! What a beautiful job!$

Description

Michigan my Michigan is my version of the map of Michigan. It is from a hand drawn pattern that I created. The lakes, the UP and the mitten are turned and machine appliqué. Machine embroidery in silver thread is added to identity the Great Lakes fish species, the Mackinaw bridge, lighthouses, the state, bird, tree and insect (mosquito), and cities of importance. This was designed and made for my grandson’s HS graduation. Needless to say.  he loved it. Oh, and I embroidered the state of Texas to commentate his birth state.
