Aaron’s Nursery Rhyme Quilt By: Wanda Robinson, Oklahoma, USA
It began 18 yrs ago. Took 2 years to find the right inspiration for my nephew. Since my dear sis-in-law (his mom) is a quilter I wanted it to be just perfect. Finished for his 18th b-day June 16th! All hand quilted and appliqued. Hardest part was taking a decent photo. Do you recognize the stories?

Cherry Mash Meets Sun Bonnet Sue By: Reeze Hanson, Kansas, USA
The quilt was the result of a guild challenge where a candy bar had to be the inspiration for a quilt. I got a Cherry Mash. Never having eaten one, I bit into it and nearly gagged from the sickenly sweet confection. So I asked Sunbonnet Sue how cherries could have gone so wrong and she showed me.

My Kiddo Growing up By: Shruti, India
When I decided to make a quilt for my son, now 3, I was wondering what should I do. Then the idea of making a quilt with all his treasured clothes struck me. I got together all his ‘special’ clothes and made them into this attractive quilt. Every piece is special and has a memory associated with it.

This is a small applique piece. It is very special to me because it represents all the times I snuggled with one of my children and we read stories together. The tiny drawing hanging on the wall was a transfer of my daughters drawing.
