Montse Saelices - Barcelona, Spain
Montse wrote, "It's been a long time since I started my project in 2016 but I have finally finished it. The first three years I didn't have much time to work on the quilt, but when I retired two years ago I started to progress with it.
"As you can see, I've modified a little bit the design by adding horses and cows that I've copied from other calendars of yours. I did it at the request of my husband because you can find a lot of horses and cows in the mountains here in "La Cerdanya" (Pyrenees) where we have a second house.
"I'm not a good quilter so this has been the most difficult part for me, keeping in mind that it's a big quilt and weights a lot.
"Anyway I'm sending herewith some photographs of my work, I have enjoyed it a lot and I hope you like it. I would be very happy if you could hang a photograph of my work in your Calendar Quilt Gallery."

Brenda wrote, "I started this quilt in February 2017 in a block of the month class... My Aunt admired it as I was making it so I promised it to her. Two years later, I finished it and entered it in the Folsom quilt show. It is my second completed quilt. It got the Viewers Choice award. I did all the work myself including the quilting. My Aunt cleared off a wall in her house and proudly displays it for all to see!"
2010 Times
and Seasons Quilt
Made
by
Edel (Edie) Miller - Hayden, Northern Idaho
Edie wrote, "This Piecemakers quilt was started in 2010 after many, many hours of study on the instructions supplied with the kit; ribbon embroidery was new to me but once started I really enjoyed the technique.
The project took nearly two years to complete since I was interrupted by a move to a new home! Once finished and returned from long arm quilting by artist, Jean Shute, and finishing touches were completed the quilt was entered in the Independence Hall Quilters annual fair in Murphys, California.
I was thrilled to win VIEWERS' CHOICE.
When entered in the North Idaho Quilters' Show in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, in 2017, the quilt won the 1st Place Ribbon plus the Featured Quilter Award.
It now graces the wall of our guest bedroom and continues to earn many praises from house guests. Thank you Piecemakers for an exciting design and a complete and well-done kit!"

Kathy wrote, "I've made many of your full picture quilts...with the trains, mountains, etc. I have four of them done. I'm looking for another with scenes with all blocks connected... preferably 60" or larger. I've taken awards for several...but now I'm looking for something with mountains, buildings, etc. where all images are relatively similar in size.[Piecemakers' Note: Both of Kathy's pictured quilts have won awards!]
I have made the 1999, 2000, and a combination of 2010 and 2017 which I changed a little.I love making a large picture."

Freda wrote, "My first entry to your blog, completing one of your wonderful patterns, was in May 2015. I have now completed another one of your patterns, the 2003 Barns. I used the green to strip the quilt. I did not go completely according to the the American theme, but still enjoyed the variations and ideas of each block. To fit my bed, I had to create 4 extra blocks. Thank you so much for the inspiration of these lovely patterns.
I am also sending a photo of the quilt [shown below] of my friend, Hannelie, who made a lovely quilt of the 2003 Barns, stripping it in a brownish colour.
We hope that you can use these pictures in your Gallery to inspire others."

Debbie Anderson - Glenelg North, South Australia, AUSTRALIA
Debbie wrote, "I fell in love with this pattern when it was found in my Glenelg Quilt Group's cupboard 4 years ago after being donated to the group years earlier. In 2013 I sent away for one of the few remaining partial quilt kits.
Living in Australia I didn't think I would see all these trees in real life, however, I found many in our Mount Lofty Botanic Gardens in South Australia - a micro climate on the side of our only mountain in our State that accommodates cool climate trees.
With the support of my Glenelg Quilt group, this pattern taught me so many techniques. I decided to go for finishing rather than perfection and followed the majority of the pattern instructions. Thank you for such a lovely pattern.
2002 Times
and Seasons Quilt
Made
by
Gayle Hansen - Sandy, Utah
Sandy wrote, "This quilt was started April 2002, completed in August of 2005. My father always was telling me I needed to enter one of my quilts in the State Fair. Unfortunately he passed away in 2000, so when I saw this pattern I knew this is the quilt I would make in his honor.
I took an applique class and a silk ribbon class and watched videos and bought several books on the subject. I collected material from different quilt shops while traveling - Seattle & Spokane Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and of course the local quilt shops in Salt Lake City area. In these two years I was hospitalized three times for various reasons. The Cherry Blossoms knots were made while recovering and the Weeping Willow leaves were done while I was under the influence of pain medication. Maybe that's the reason I had the patience to do so many leaves and blossoms. I told myself this quilt was going to be in the 2005 State Fair in honor of my Father. I'm really not the competitive type. I just wanted prove to myself I could get out of my comfort zone and do something different.
At the State Fair in 2005 it took 1st place in its category and viewers choice and Grand Prize for Home Arts department. Afterwards my friends talked me into entering it at the Springville Arts Show in Springville, Utah, the same year, so that people who didn't see it at the Fair would have the opportunity to do so there. It took 1st place Viewers Choice and Best of Show there. In 2008 I took it to the Masonic Lodge in Salt Lake City where it took 1st Place and Viewers Choice.
I am very proud of this quilt and thank Piecemakers for doing such a beautiful pattern. It was appraised by two certified appraisers in the amount of 12,000.00. It just amazes me when I look at it that I really did this. (From Piecemakers: Congratulations, Gayle. The fruit of your labor really shines through in your quilt!)

Bea wrote, "I loved
the Times and Seasons quilt patterns but they were too large so I
minimized them -- the Train Quilt is 33” wide x 33-3/4” high and
the Lighthouse Quilt is 39” wide and 38” high -- so I could hang them
in my home. It was a lot of fun finding the material and adapting the
embellishments to a much smaller size quilt. Some I had to change
completely and others I could go according to the pattern. It was an
enjoyable experience and quilts that I will treasure the rest of my
life. Love your Patterns."

Anderson - Eau Claire, Wisconsin
Jan wrote, "Thank
you for acknowledging my quilt. I started the quilt in February and
found it so much fun I ordered the 2015 calendar to do the birds.
It was a difficult year losing two cats and my beloved beagle
Bailey. Hope you don't mind some of my changes. The last square
is my idea of the Rainbow Bridge. I needed to do a square to honor
their memory and all my pets who I imagine are waiting for me at the
Rainbow Bridge.
I will think of them each time I see the quilt."

Made
by
Evelyn
Smith - Fisher Branch, Manitoba, Canada
Evelyn wrote, "I
have made two of these quilts, one for each of my children. The purpose
was to remind them of their roots and for them to remember that their
ancestors worked very hard so that they could enjoy the life they live
now. The poem on the back of the quilt sums up what we would like them
to carry with them as a foundation of life. I have made minor changes
to the pattern. Mainly, the flag, since we live in Canada.
I enjoyed working on this quilt, even though at times, I thought I was
in over my head, I persevered. I am pleased with how it turned out. I
has the feel of 'a warm hug on a cold day', the feeling that you
only get when you are 'home'. To my surprise, I received first place at
the Arborg Ag Society Fair. July 17, 2016."

Judi wrote, "The
2007 Times and Season Quilt was started in a block of the month class
in January 2007. While working on the 2007 quilt, I fell in love with
the 2009 crazy patch quilt. So there was a time that I worked on both
quilts at the same time. I made the crazy patch with a deep burgundy
color to go with the colors of our bedroom. The crazy patch quilt was
finished in a couple of years; while the 2007 quilt was finished in
2015 after completing the quilting. I modified the center for a more
continuous flow to the quilt. This is my first completed hand appliqued
and hand quilted piece that I've ever made. The 2007 Times and Season
Quilt was a gift to my mom. The quilt label reads: Made for Joy
Gardner, my mother that brings "joy" to my life.
2002 Times

Made
by
Ellen
Palmer - Martinsburg, West Virginia
Ellen wrote, "I am
sending photos of the... Times & Seasons 2002 Calendar quilt that I
recently finished. Since I can no longer do any hand applique or
embroidery due to arthritic thumb joints and surgeries I did the quilt
entirely by machine. (Click on Ellen's
quilt above to see some close-up photos of her beautiful work.)
I devised patterns for leaves for the trees that were supposed to use
ribbon embroidery and satin stitched each and every one! down,
including hundreds of 1/8 inch circles for the cherry blossoms, and a
bazillion leaves under 1/2 inch long. :) The crazy quilt sections were
also done by machine, with even the buttons and charms being sewn with
a button foot. Some flatback doo-dads were glued on.
I turned the crazy quilt sections into a family photo memory quilt... I
thoroughly enjoyed making the quilt and appreciated the intricacy and
details of each pattern. It will go to my grandson one day and I
hope that it will become a cherished family heirloom quilt. Many thanks
for such a wonderful pattern!

more a crafter than a quilter. I always look for new and inspirational
projects to do and I have really enjoyed making the Calendar 1997
quilting pattern. Each and every house was a challenge as I wanted it
to be special. I must also thank my sister-in-law in Temecula,
California, who actually bought the original pattern from you and
brought it to me when they visited us in South Africa." (We at
Piecemakers would like to say how much we enjoyed the variations on the
original pattern that Freda created!)

The finished quilt is a (very!) late wedding gift to my daughter and

I have been sewing
for most of my life and am a self taught quilter
since 1984. I also teach many classes at local shops. I have made a few
hundred quilts using a variety of techniques. The quilt, with much
encouragement was entered into the local quilt guild show with 130
other quilts. It won two vendor choice awards. The viewers choice award
will be awarded at the next meeting so we will see if it makes it or
not. Thank you for making such lovely patterns."

Hanging from 2003 Times

Made
by
Liz
Villemarette - Louisiana
From Liz: "I really
enjoyed making this wall hanging and will be making other blocks from
that calendar. Love the patterns you design. I used raw edge applique
for most of the piece and enforcement with transparent thread for the
stitching down. I also did some thread
painting to make the hay look more realistic. I did use a permanent ink
pen to do the facial expression on the boy and some outlining. The
cobblestone was just stones all together so I used white acrylic paint
to paint out some of the stones so it would look like cobblestone."

"After finishing the blocks for the 2002 Times and Seasons Quilt, I
realized I did not want to crazy quilt the background as the pattern
called for so decided to design my own background for the blocks and
this is the result. The quilting entails a lot of animals and birds in
the background tree branches which can't be seen very well in this
picture.
This quilt won Best of Show at the local Lake Farmpark Quilt Show."

"These women
accepted a challenge to make this Crazy Quilt from Piecemakers' 2001
Times and Seasons Calendar. For some, the random placement of scraps in
various sizes, colors and fabrics was a new experience. For others, it
was a pleasure to build on those simple stitches learned in our
childhood and achieve the detailed and intricate embroidery decorating
the patches. For all, learning the technique of creating silk ribbon
flowers was the biggest challenge."

"Last year my
friend, Carolyn Larsen gave me your calendar as a present. I loved it
and as our family was having our first big Christmas together for many
years I decided to make the quilt as an Advent Calendar to celebrate
our time together. I finished it! Lots of work, lots of fun. As I hope
you can see I have altered a few blocks to give them an Australian
flavour, so Santa is surfing ( after Christmas, of course!) and instead
of reindeer we have six white kangaroos. This is for a song by Rolf
Harris, an Australian Singer who wrote, 'Six White Boomers' - another
name for kangaroos! Where Santa is climbing down the chimney, I
included Australian animals and birds and where you had an orphanage, I
didn't feel happy about that so I made him a farmer with two calves...
Thank you so much for your lovely inspiration."

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."

"I usually give most of my quilts as gifts, but when my
daughters asked who I was giving this quilt to, I said it would be
their inheritance as I could not part with it. Thank you for the
beautiful design and I hope you continue to challenge quilters world
wide. God bless you."
