Quilt Name: For Maude
Quilt Information: I saw a block in a magazine and liked it. The center medallion was made and then I was to wait for the next magazine for the next round of blocks. The next day I learned that my friend Maude was having breast cancer surgery. So I gathered all my pinks and made this quilt top. Grandma Mitchel was able to quilt Peace Signs all over it. I drove to Eugene and gave it to her just after her surgery.

Quilt Information: This Pacific Rim Quilt Company pattern is very versatile. You can also put Heliconia, Orchid or Torch Ginger in your vase. I love the Anthurium; I feel they look like abstract hearts.

Quilt Name: Loved
Quilt Information: This quilt was my own pattern. It was made in honor of Girl Scout Troop 146. I absolutely loved these girls and I hope that they learned the power of positive self-talk. Each girl have a word “worthy” “loved”, “valued” “smart” and more. The quilt was made with recycled fabric samples (only as a Girl Scout would make such a thing!)

Quilt Name: Hearts for My Baby
Quilt Information: February is valentines and love. This is the first “real” quilt I ever made. I was very pregnant with Joey Malloy (1996) at the time. It’s all calicos. I’m currently replacing the binding as I’ve washed it 1 million times.

No not just for some, but for everyone.
