Lauretta Gatz
Red Work

This delightful quilt is hand embroidered, machine pieced and handquilted. She started this quilt in 2008 after participating in a Red Work quilting workshop. Her inspiration came from colouring books, books on the art of Red Work,while many of the flowers and bird designs were based on nature guidebooks.She put the work away for a few years and picked it up again as a portable project during her late husbands illness. The quilt was finally finished in September, 2011, just in time for the show.

A Silver Lining

I saw this quilt online (Cheryl's Quilt Shop, Kentucky) and fell in love with it! I had it three years before I started to do it, then I figured I must be nuts! When I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure I got at it again and took a block with me to each Dr.'s appointment and finally finished it! It certainly has been my "silver lining!"
