2002 Times
and Seasons Quilt
Made
by
Brenda
Morton - Bunker, Missouri
1st Place Winner at the Missouri State Fair 2012
"I was unfamiliar
with your Times and Seasons projects until I got this calendar from a
quilter friend who decided she was never going to get it made. I
enjoyed the whole process of finding fabrics, embellishing the crazy
quilt blocks, and occasionally adding my own spin on your very good
patterns. Thank you for adding to the joy of quilting for a great many
fellow quilters!"
2003 Times
and Seasons Quilt
Made
by
Dinah
Miller's Quilt Guild (quilted by Dinah) - New Salem, Indiana
"Our guild made this
quilt as a group project and I was lucky enough to be asked to quilt
it. I am attaching a photo to this email for you to see our beautiful
piece! I have entered this
quilt and been accepted into the AQS show.
It is a beautiful quilt and has brought joy to so many that have seen
it! Thank you for the work that you do and the patterns you
share. Our guild has always oohed and aaahed when a Piecemakers quilt
is shown in "Show and Tell" by someone."

2005 Times
and Seasons Quilt
Made
by

Cox - Port Saint Lucie, Florida
"I adapted the
pattern and included my family in the people of the quilt. My mother,
who passed in 1993, was the lady being baptised and all the family was
gathered to watch. My grandchildren were the kids. I won an honorable
mention in the Kirksville, MO 2007 quilt show and a second place in the
Port St. Lucie show in 2008. It still hangs in my living room and I
recieve many compliments on the quilt. Thanks for allowing me to share."

recently. I won 1st place in Traditional Pattern for Excellence in
Workmanship - Applique. Another one of your patterns won a Best of Show

finished quilt to Piecemakers and we were able to get a picture of it

she made on the blocks to personalize her quilt.

attention which is very pleasing. "

and Seasons Quilt
Made
by
Ellen
Kay - Dayton, Ohio
"I finally finished
the trains quilt and I love it. I loved doing it. I also finished the
barns quilt but have not yet quilted it. Thanks so much for printing
the train images for me several years ago."
1999 Times
and Seasons Quilt
Made
by
Susan
Kraterfield - Roanoke, Virginia
"I
redrafted this in EQ5 to be large enough for a queen size
bed. Picking fabrics was a lot of fun; but
appliqueing buildings was tedious. I was much happier
doing the more organic shapes - animals and trees. The silk
ribbon embroidery was new for me; the flowers came out quite well."
Susan won several ribbons for this quilt - 2005 Salem VA Fair: Best in
Show, Director's Award, Champion; Mountain Comforts XVII in Ferrum VA:
Best in Show and Viewers' Choice; 2005 Floyd VA Guild Show: Honorable
Mention. Congratulations, Susan!
2001 Times
and Seasons Quilt
Made
by
Corrine
"Corky" Linscott - Orange City, Florida
Her friend Patty
sent us the photo of Corky and her quilt, and wrote, "Corky's full name
is Corrine Linscott, but I have never heard anyone call her "Corrine,"
only "Corky." I did call her and read your very nice note to her. She
was absolutely thrilled that you were impressed with her quilt and said
that she feels very "humbled"... Thanks again for making Corky so
happy."

Trains, and now the Churches in the Wilderness, and I really enjoy
doing them. As you can see, I have adapted it to flow through the
seasons of the year starting with January and ending with December. The
first quilt show I want to enter it in is the Mountainfest Quilt Show
in Pigeon Forge, TN, held March 6th thru 10th. I will let you
know if it places. Also, I need to tell you that I needleturn appliqued
the quilt, and it was longarm quilted by Pam Heavrin of Paducah, KY."
In Honor of
a Beautiful Quilter - Barbara Nieland
Letter below is from her husband, Cyril
"To the Ladies of
Piecemakers: I asked my daughter to type this letter of thanks to let
you know just how much I appreciate your kindness at this difficult
time. Losing my beautiful Barbara after 61 years of marriage has been
quite difficult.
I also want you to know that she thoroughly enjoyed your calendar
quilts and was always looking forward to the next years. She was so
excited to be able to come from Iowa just to visit your store and meet
all of you. She talked about that trip a lot during her remaining two
years. She was a master quilter and wonderful faith filled woman." [Remainder of letter]

"I fell in love with the 2002 Piecemakers Calendar quilt
when I saw it made up and displayed in a booth at Puyallup Sewing Expo.
Last year my granddaughter asked me to make her a quilt. I showed her a
lot of patterns but... the 2002 quilt was the one she wanted me to
make. This quilt was a challenge but the instructions were very good."
