Teddy Welcomes You
Name of Maker: Debbie Cameron
Teddy Welcomes You - This quilt was made by me as a baby shower gift for a lady expecting a baby girl. She was designing the nursery with teddy bears and loved the colors lavendar and green. This quilt fit in perfectly with her decor.
Blue Mountain Prayer
Name of Maker: Maryellen Naughton`
Blue Mountain Prayer - This quilt was made after we purchased our retirement property in Colorado. It had a "southwest" feel, and made me think of the mountains in our soon-to-be back yard. It was skillfully quilted with southwest petroglyph designs in the blue squares.
Betsey's Rail Fence
Name of Maker: Jean Stokes
Betsey's Rail Fence - Green Border with Red and Blue prints made for 10 yr old Betsey's mother. Betsey's mother was killed on Mothers Day before quilt was given to her.
Christmas Delivery
Name of Maker: Maryellen Naughton
Christmas Delivery - 2005 was the year I made Christmas quilts as gifts for the Naughton side of the family. I had seen several quilts made up of different sized blocks, so I tried my own method of piecing, and was pleased with the result. My sister-in-law is nuts about Christmas, so she really appreciated having a "Christmas Quilt" to display during the holidays.
African Themed
Name of Maker: Kathy Miller
African Themed - I have always been attracted to ethnic quilts. The book "Quilt Africa" had so many inspiring ideas in it. This was my first attempt to 'free motion' quilt and I now love to do it. I especially like the illusion of desert (from the beige batik) and the wind (my quilting) in the background of each image. Since I was making this for a friend, I incorporated a family of warthogs as she collects them. My favorite is the mom giraffe with her little one.
48 States Quilt
Name of Maker: Nellie Barry emboridered blocks on muslin
48 States Quilt - Patterns the work of Ruby McKim. My husband's Grandmother embroidered the blocks. After her death, his mother found them, and clipping from the 1931 KCS newspaper showing finished quilt.
Nine-Patch Updated
Name of Maker: Maryellen Naughton
Nine-Patch Updated - I worked feverishly to finish this quilt for the Nine Patch Competition in LaVeta in the Fall of 2005. Unfortunately, as we were also working on building our house at the time, the quilt did not make the competition. I am partial to southwest design work and really like this piece.
Only Princesses Are In My Closet
Name of Maker: Debbie Cameron
Only Princesses Are In My Closet - My daughter, Sierra, used to be terribly afraid of the dark and 'monsters' in her closet. I saw this pattern and found some lovely fabric with larger scale princesses, castles, and other fairytale items and decided to put them in her 'closet'. Sierra still sleeps with the lights on, but feels safer with her quilt. She loves to open the doors on the quilt and be surprised at what might be behind it (frog, princess, castle).
Tranquility
Name of Maker: Kathy Miller
Tranquility - I had worked with fusible products on many quilts, but saw a class offered at my local quilt shop - "Fusing to Be Free". It was interesting learning a new technique for fusing. This was the project I did in class. I then gave this to my sister for her birthday.
Miracle at Little No Horse
Name of Maker: N. McComb
Miracle at Little No Horse - Image as I visualize it from Louise Erdrich's book, "The last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse". "The Rhapsody woke them, Debussy drew them forth, Chopin made them listen and Schubert put them back to sleep. "
Mustang Migration
Name of Maker: Maryellen Naughton
Mustang Migration - I combined the Indian Feather Block with Laurel Burch "Mythical Horses" fabric, to provide another southwest design. This "horses of the Plains" quilt is a representation of the wild mustangs who once roamed free on the plains of the southwest. The circular pattern of quilting over the horse squares is a southwest indian migration petroglyph pattern indicating the constand movement of the herd.
Non=Traditional Christmas Tablerunner
Name of Maker: Maryellen Naughton`
Non=Traditional Christmas Tablerunner - This piece uses a couple of Laurel Burch Christmas design blocks with a square-in square twist. I donated this piece to our church for silent auction, and found out that one of my fellow guild members ended up with it!
Fractured Trellis
Name of Maker: Kathee Sterbenz
Fractured Trellis - This quilt began as a skill building exercise after taking a hand piecing class. The result was thirteen hand pieced Dresden plate blocks stuffed neatly in a drawer for two years. Then came along a class requiring that I bring some finished blocks that were just "hanging" around or more correctly "stuffed away". The result "Fractured Trellis". This quilt is not a thing of beauty but it will warm you as you read on chilly days or cold nights.

Name of Maker: Gma
Emily - Embroidered Suzi's Zoo characters. Let Emily pick the colors with help.

Sandy's Indiana Puzzle

Sandy's Indiana Puzzle - Our granddaughter was headed for college and picked a picture from a catalog or magazine for her college dorm quilt. I used scraps of her grandpa's shirts.
Mother's Advice
Name of Maker: Linda Wyckoff-Hickey
Mother's Advice - The quilt was put together with each square having a 3-D heart. On each heart everyone that attended the baby shower was instructed to write words of advice to the mother to be. It was so precious and the new mom just cried with joy. It was worth every stitch! The Baby's inital was embroidered in the center block for personalization using my new Bernina QE440.
