Tracy Mooney, Editor
When there is a big event like a wedding, graduation, or baby, quilters
make and give quilts If you are like me, sometimes you don’t give yourself
enough time to fi nish said quilt, but that is a conversation for another day!
Today we are talking about quilts for gift giving occasions
This issue is packed full of beautiful quilts to make and give If you love
appliqué, don’t miss Garden Wedding by Barb Eikmeier It is a classic that
is destined to become an heirloom Speaking of heirlooms, we have three
quilts that are remakes of family quilts by Abigail Dolinger, Bev Getschel,
and Connie Kaufman Don’t misss the photos of the original antiques and
their miniature versions
If you want an interesting twist on a memory quilt, take a look at Terri
Vanden Bosch’s Mountain Memories She makes a base quilt that is taken
on vacation and used as a journal, writing special thoughts each night
Finally, she prints photos taken during the trip onto fabric and adds them to
the quilt, creating a lovely keepsake How cool is that?
We have several quilts that are perfect for the men in your life (it’s all in the
fabric choices, right?) such as Stars of Time by Scott Flanagan and Emerald
City by Lori Baker Lori actually made this quilt as a gift for her husband
These would be perfect for a graduation or even a wedding gift
For the women in your life, Tulip Twinklers by Geraldine Wilkins and the
lovely tote bag, Natalie’s Choice are perfect to make for Mother’s Day or a
birthday
I hope you love these quilts as much as we loved putting this issue
together for you
Happy Quilting!
Time to Celebrate!

Trang 12The Silk Road
EHRMAN NEEDLEPOINT KITS
From either end of the Silk Road, from the exotic lands of Cathay to the
splendours of Byzantium, the rich patterns of Asia have inspired textile
designers over the ages Composed in mosaic like blocks of color these
canvases are a joy to stitch and would look equally good in traditional or
contemporary interiors.
The kits themselves come complete with everything you need: the 100%
cotton canvas printed in full color, all the 100% pure new wool required,
a needle, a color chart and an easy to follow guide to get you underway
Only one simple stitch is used throughout Needlepoint is a pleasant way
to unwind and it’s a pastime that can give a lifetime of pleasure If you
haven’t tried it before one of these kits would be a great way to start.

Trang 13How do you present a quilt to it’s recipient?
Carrie Sisk
Social Media Manager
I am an aspiring professional gift-wrapper, so part of the fun for me is gifting the quilt in an extravagantly wrapped gift box It’s not unusual that I use hot glue to create an elegant fabric bow replete with “décor” that matches the quilt theme (think buttons, faux feathers, glittery fl owers, or fabric butterfl ies) Depending on the circumstances, I may even decorate the box with a small accessory created from the same fabric I used in my quilt (no hot glue there) It’s all part of the gift-ing experience for me!
Lori Baker
Acquisitions Editor
Most of the quilts that I give are presents for our children, grandchildren and grandchildren for Christmas The quilts are not wrapped; they are in a huge heap under the tree
great-Tricia Patterson
Group Editorial Director
I love the knowing look on my family’s faces when they receive a package with a whole quilt inside, simply wrapped, in plain paper with no box They can already feel the love of the fabric I have to confess, there are many times I gift my quilts
as a design sketch with swatches of fabric, or partially-made blocks, or a stack of blocks Those quilts are received with a “That’s my Mom Lots of ideas and not enough time to implement!”

Making Memories
After planning a dream vacation with her family, designer Terri Van-den Bosch wanted to create a quilt
to commemorate their trip “Upon looking at the fi nished sashed Nine-Patch quilt on the fl oor I saw “open spaces” on the quilt that were call-ing out to be journaled—a space for each day of our adventure And so the idea was born to make a com-pletely fi nished quilt to take along
on a vacation and have each person journal directly on the quilt every night The quilt holds their thoughts
of the day’s activities and photos of the vacation” she said
So what are Terri's best tips for creating your very own journal quilt?
“As far as pens, I like Zig Micron 5 but any type of archival acid-free pen will work Check the scrap booking aisles or art supply stores Staedtler is another brand that works well Fresh new pens work best Place quilt on a flat surface Then just write from the heart!! Don't worry about "messing" up the quilt as that just adds to the charm
of the piece!! Like when younger children write, we read it later and how it makes you smile!”

Quilting and Finishing
29 Layer, baste, and quilt Scott chine quilted a swirl pattern across the surface of the quilt Bind with multicolor batik
Trang 38ma-Color Play!
Scott made three fantastic versions of this
quilt On the right, he used rich, fall colors to
make Stars of Time Below, he used blues,
yellows, and greens to make a version that
reminds us of the colors of spring Each of his
three different quilts has a slightly different
feel, but all of them are beautiful Does this
give you the inspiration to choose your own
color palette?
Designed and made by Scott Flanagan.
Trang 39Abigail Dolinger says, ”About 45 years ago, my paternal grandmother, Isabel
Hutcheson, pieced this fan quilt [above] She invited my maternal grandmother
and me to her house to help hand quilt it This is a treasured quilt in my collection
The technique I used for my modern remake [right] is a spin-off of the Candy
Ring block printed in May/June 2014 McCall’s Quilting magazine I tried many
arrangements of the quarter rings/circles on a white background and settled on
this one I sewed the fans together on the straight edges and machine appliquéd
them on white background fabric with black thread.”

Heirloom Inspirations
There are three quilts in this issue that have a special connection to family heritage Each was inspired in some way by a family heirloom quilt
Trang 40Bev Getschel made Family Tree (above), a miniature version
of a quilt passed down from her husband’s side of the family
“We don't know if the quilt was made by his grandmother
or great-grandmother and we don’t know the year, but we’re guessing it's from the 1930s because of the bubble gum pink and that period green We do know it was his mother’s side
of the family,” she says Her oldest daughter has the original basket quilt, so Bev made the miniature for her younger
daughter For instructions to make Bev’s Family Tree, see
page 38
Connie Kauffman was intrigued by this aging quilt owned
by her mother “The baskets were all one red fabric with awhite background, though they are faded now My sisteractually has a portion of the quilt that she hangs as a wall hanging I always wanted to make one of my own similar
to it.” Her Baby Blue Baskets wall hanging (above) features
seven Basket quilt blocks, all set on point, in looking scrappy blues
