Oregon Star
Name of Maker: Lynn Gerhard
Oregon Star - I purchased this pattern while spending our summer in Oregon, on the coast. My husband fell in love with it - so I mixed the colors differently and dedicated the quilt to him. He is the star of my life. The original had all colors mixed together, and in mine I kept each star with a couple of shades of the color spectrum, then let them fall where they may in the final layout. We love this bright, cheery quilt.
My spring hummer
Name of Maker: Lynn Gerhard
My spring hummer - This is my first attempt at a stained glass wall quilt. I used my own fabrics and played with the overall effect. I did learn a lot doing this pattern, and am pleased with the outcome. I, like lots of others, love hummingbirds so this hanging makes a good addition to our home.
The Hoe-Down
Name of Maker: Mandy Weaver
The Hoe-Down - This is made from an antique pillowcase I bought at a garage sale for 50 cents. I loved the colors and fun design. I took the pillowcase to my favorite quilt shop and spent hours looking for that perfect fabric to match.
I love the USA

My Mother's Poppies
Name of Maker: Lynn Gerhard
My Mother's Poppies - This was a kit I purchased. The correct amount of fabric was not in the kit, and the instructions were very loose - so I just startd doing it as I was inspired.The applique pieces for the poppy were used only once in her example, but I wanted more. I also trapuntoed my poppies as they were the most important element of the quitl.
Rainbows in my Dreams
Name of Maker: Lynn Gerhard

It Feels Like Spring
Name of Maker: Mary Doidge
It Feels Like Spring - I took a surface design class this spring in which I hand-dyed the center motif. I liked it so much I decided it just had to be made into a quilt and this is the result. When I thought the top was finished, I felt that the narrow yellow border was too strong and I needed to tone it down. I finally decided to machine embroider it with turquoise thread; much to my delight I found a built-in stitch on my machine that was very similar to the motif I had dyed. I just love serendipity!!!!
