My Quilts

My first quilted wallhanging with applique.
Made for Daniel, the son of a friend.
I prepared him for his Bar Mitzvah and taught him Hebrew.
This was to mark the occasion.

The first large quilt I made was for our son's 21st
birthday, a so-called 'freedom' quilt.
He chose the colours himself and designed
one of the blocks.

My second quilt was for my mother in Holland,
made with Dutch folklore fabrics, many from Staphorst.

The third quilt I made was for our daughter's 21st birthday.
She wanted an Amish type quilt, with Bible texts around a picture in the centre.

"Dear Jane" Quilt.
The quilt I am making now is for my husband, and it is a replica of a quilt made by
Jane Stickle in 1863 during the Civil War in America.

2002 "Dear Jane" Siggie Swap.
Signature blocks from all over the world.
Everyone who took part made around 200 identical signature blocks, sent them to a 'Swap Mummy' in America, and received back around 200 different ones.

Since the end of December 2006 I have started Baltimore blocks.

I am using Elly Sienkiewicz' book Baltimore Beauties and Beyond Vol. 1,
and am working through the twelve lessons in it.
