Artist Statement

In August 2018, Mama and I spent several hours together sorting through her fabric stash, quilting supplies and patterns. Despite being very tired, Mama had a plan for me. In the quiet of our time together she asked a very special request. She asked if I would consider making quilts for her beautiful sisters using her stash. Mama's request came with great love and pride. She knew she was sick and knew she would never be able to make quilts for her.

I promised her that day, that the quilts I make for her would be constructed with as much love as she would put into them herself. We spent time choosing patterns and fabrics. We laughed and we cried!

This quilt is a traditional disappearing four patch block using a delicate floral fat quarter bundle from Moda fabrics that Mama thought you would like. I completed one block and got her approval to continue. The finished quilt has one layer of 100% wool over Hobb's 80/20 batting.

This quilt is a modern twist on the wedding ring block. This version utilized the Sew Kind of Wonderful Quick Curve Ruler and curved piecing. The fabric is French General by Moda. I completed one block and got her approval to continue. The finished quilt has one layer of 100% wool over Hobb's 80/20 batting. The name of the quilt is a hint to the rural person who is going to receive this gift.

Artist Statement

Brandon came into our lives in January 2017. The first version of this quilt was made as a fundraiser for Aids Lifecycle. Upon the draw for the original version, Brandon was completely sickened that he didn’t win the first prize quilt.

As a result, I made a second quilt for the man that has become a big part of our lives. You are a great friend, loyal brother and exceptional son. I couldn’t be happier to make this quilt especially for you!

The quilt uses the “Big Star” pattern by Missouri Star Quilt Company and I used Kaffe Fassett prints with coordinating Kona solids to create the pride effect that Brandon loved from the original quilt.
