Notes

  • -  The following information was supplied by the quiltmaker:
  • -  Quilt size: 76" x 60"
  • -  Where did you learn the pattern? "Created it -- drew buildings from original photos and drew line-drawing on monument."
  • -  How did you choose the materials used in your quilt? "I tried to find materials that resembled buildings. My husband purchased most of the fabrics, by himself."
  • -  How long have you been making quilts? "Since I was in grade school. My mother was determined to see that I could sew and cook, after she had been through the Depression and saw many families suffer because the women couldn't sew or cook. I taught my daughter the same." / How did you learn to quilt? "Through my mother and several friends."
  • -  What was your primary reason for entering the Lands' End contest? Do you frequently enter your quilts in competition? "I have only entered three contests and have won twice. All my friends tell me how well I can quilt, so I entered a couple to see if others thought the same way."
  • -  Has being a winner in the Land's End contest made a difference in your life? Has it changed the way you look at your work as a quilt maker? "The quilt hangs on the wall inside the Inn and it makes me very proud and happy when the citizens of Jaffrey stop by to see it. The quilt is now known as the 'Jaffrey Quilt,' has been written up twice in the newspapers, and our guests are in awe of it. It will probably, in the future, hang in our historical society."
