Lynden, Washington

Photo of Lynden, Washington Quilt

Machine pieced, machine quilted, machine and hand embroidered, hand appliqued and hand beaded.

Lynden, Washington was made in response to the Friendship Star Quilters Guild challenge to make a quilt of a manhole cover with a Japanese fabric. The quilt could be of a manhole cover that was included in Shirley MacGregor's books or a different city or a fictitious town. Instead of depicting the manholes that don't stay put in Georgetown, Washington, DC, Margreta designed a manhole depicting her hometown, Lynden, Washington. The design is based on the town logo. Margreta used water soluble stabilizer to capture First Christian Reformed Church and the windmill. 36" x 38"

Quilt displayed at AQS 2003 Quilt Exposition, Nashville, TN, August 2003.
