An Eventful First Year

This August marked our one year anniversary selling medallions at local craft shows. For the second time I attended the Antique Car and Quilt Show at the Wolcott Mill in Ray Township, Michigan. This had been the very first one I had ever participated in.

Last year several of the quilters in attendance recommended that we make quilt squares. When I returned this year I brought the result of their encouragement: Ohio Star and Flying Geese medallions. These are unlike our others in that they are square, not round. Some are painted with just blocks of color, but I also have designed my own "material" patterns as a variation. (I'll insert pictures soon. we've been making them and forgetting to photo them.)






The American Flag with encircling stars is another addition to our line-up. The sizes are 18", 24", 32" and 48."






 


Here's our "Land of the Brave" variation.

A specific piece was commissioned that bore the words, "Land of the Free Because of the Brave."
