Title: My Montana Chickens
Made by: Pat Linder
Quilted by: Pat Linder

Chicken patterns are by Maggie Walker. The flower border and landscape borders are original designs. Appliqué is by hand. Quilted by machine.


Title: Spokane LDS Temple
Made by: Paula Thurber
Quilted by: Paula Thurber

For my in-laws 50th Wedding Anniversary, I made a quilt of the Latter Day Saints Temple here in Spokane. They have it hung in their living room.


Title: Redwork by Machine
Made by: Marlen Laughten, Julie Lynch, Pam Clarke
Quilted by: Pam Clarke

This was so much fun to do. I first machine quilted the whole quilt, then I put Redwork on top of my machine quilting.


Title: Indian Summer in New York
Made by: Laura Conowitch
Quilted by: Laura Conowitch

This New York Beauty design, by Karen Stone, was a lot of fun to do. It was also an eye opener in the sense that I can see what fabrics I tend to keep in my stash.


Title: Two Sides for Sydney
Made by: Roberta Schroeder
Quilted by: Roberta Schroeder

This reversible quilt is for my granddaughter, Sydney. I enjoyed the flippy technique used for construction.


Title: Flowers Galore and Friends
Made by: Georgie Gerl
Quilted by: Georgie Gerl

Flowers and appliqués are two of my favorite thing to do in a quilt.


Title: Pin Ridge
Made by: Ruth Eckersley
Quilted by: Ruth Eckersley

I bought the kit to make this quilt at last years show and enough fabric of the large leaf print to make drapes for our bedroom, and months ago I ran across the kit to make the wall hanging to match.


Title: Cats in My Orchid
Made by: Katie Banister
Quilted by: Katie Banister

An 18-month project! Cats and orchid names are on each block. Beading in center of orchids and trumpet vine. Each block was 80 - 90 pieces with center block having over 300 pieces. Guess I was out of my mind when I started this one!


Title: Song of the Orient
Made by: Betty M Bakie
Quilted by: Karen Brown

This quilt was inspired by a class taught by Pat Means. It allowed me to use the wonderful Japanese prints in my collection.


Title: A Fresh Pot
Made by: Florence Coffey
Quilted by: Florence Coffey

I like making quilts with the "coffee" theme since that is my last name. This one features real coffee beans and silk ribbon blossoms.


Title: These are the Ties that Blind
Made by: Bettie Marie Bakie
Quilted by: Bettie Marie Bakie

My son Rob suggested the theme for this quilt. Puns are a specialty of his. I had the drawing done months before beginning the project.


Title: Fresh from My Garden
Made by: Florence Coffey
Quilted by: Florence Coffey


Title: Diane's "Flower Garden of Quilts"
Made by: Darlene Wise
Quilted by: Darlene Wise

I love Diane Phalen's artwork and decided to use that with the challenge fabric to do a flower garden of quilts. I love the result.


Title: Evan's Classic "Pooh"
Made by: Jean Martin
Quilted by: Jean Martin

I drew the "classic Pooh" characters and selected the fabrics. My Mom, Jean Martin, did the appliqué, the piecing and quilting. The quilt was completed and hanging on the wall before Evan William was born on June 3, 2001.
