Carson's Star Carson’s Star
By: Susan Cook,

My son, Carson, who was 9 at the time, sat beside me while I designed this quilt on my computer and helped me to choose the layout and colors for this quilt. Two of my friends, Kourtney Kenzie and Cathy Werner, helped with the piecing and Kourtney quilted it in the ditch for me.

Crazy Anne Crazy Anne
By: Kristi,

I made this quilt for my mom. I wanted to try my hand at paper piecing and choose this pattern based on the name. My grandmother name was Anna. My mom gave me the push into quilting by giving my some quilt blocks that my g’ma started before she past. This block made me crazy before I finished.

For My Office For My Office
By: Kathi I,
Pennsylvania, USA

This is the first quilt I paperpierced using patterns from Carol Doak and fabrics from my then small stash. Hand quilted, I made this in Feb 1996 when my CT employer, VNCC built a new building. Funny thing is my current employer is also named VNCC (totally unrelated!) so I can still hang it.

This was so enjoyable to make, as I auditioned fabrics and chose a wide variety of fabrics. The pattern is by Margaret Sullivan and was intended to be foundation pieced. But since I had it enlarged, it was an adventure in freezer paper piecing, using a Ruth McDowell technique.
