Winter Respite
Name of Maker: Rosenelle Florencechild
Winter Respite - This started out as a Mile-A-Minute Scrap Quilt. Then one day I was recuperating from a cold and turned on Alex Anderson's, Simply Quilts. I don't remember the guest, but she had a super easy way of producing the jaguard design. I tried it out with my scrap blocks and loved the effect. So much of my quilting involves serendipitous moments when an unexpected encounter leads me in a new and wonderful direction. This quilt may be the beginning of my love for checks and stripes in borders and little strips of color that say, "hello, look at me."
Sunday in the Park with George
Name of Maker: Rosenelle Florencechild
Sunday in the Park with George - I made this miniature quilt following a workshop in 2003 by George Siciliano called "Size Really Does Matter." Using foundation piecing, the quilt contains 28 blocks with 38 pieces per block for a grand total of 1, 064 pieces. After I finished the center four blocks, I thought I would quit; did a few more, then seriously thought about quitting after 16 blocks. But why quit when I was so close to finishing? And when I finally finished, the sense of accomplishment was amazing. It has one small flaw but I seem to be the only one who sees it. The best tip I learned was to use double sided tape to match seams.
Mini Tree
Name of Maker: Robin Gold
Mini Tree - Applique'd Christmas tree. I modified some clip art I found for the tree. Added a gold star button at the top, and pieced the border. The cornerstones are part of the same fabric as the tree, which I fussy cut. Will hang on a small wire hanger that has a star on it.

Wizard Of Oz
Name of Maker: Jeannie Crites
Wizard Of Oz - I had a poster of the Wizard Of Oz and I just wanted to see if I could make an adaptation of the poster in fabric. I used the freezer paper method. I hung up the poster and put my freezer paper next to it and tried to redraw the picture, then I used steam a seam and re-created the poster as best I could. I entered it in a show, but it didn't win any awards.

Steven's Flannels
Name of Maker: Mary L. Hamilton
Steven's Flannels - This is the standard Turning Twenty pattern. My son, Steven, purchased a majority of the flannel fat quarters for me in 2007 for a Christmas present. There is a wonderful quilt store that specializes in flannels, Tala's of North Adams Ma, in the town where he goes to school. I used those fat quarters and a few others to make the Turning Twenty blocks. The border is a brushed polyester - very soft. It will go out to be machine quilted and I will update the picture and the entry when it comes back.
