"Imagination is more important
than knowledge." -Albert Einstein
Appliqué Quilts
Think 'outside the blocks’ to create a quilt as unique as you
are! Consider creating a ‘themed’
appliqué quilt personalized to reflect
individual interests – a love for gardening, music, or travel. Or, for the
little ones in your life - trucks, bugs, fairytales, or anything that
brings a smile…
With these unique quilts, anything goes. All ideas welcome!
Though quilts have been
grouped to help visitors envision possible uses,
any quilt or design can be
customized to meet your special needs or occasion.

Noteworthy VFW hats in

emblem even more poignant for the family who misses him dearly. |
