My Quilting Journey
Each month, our My Quilting Journey page highlights one MPS member and their unique path in quilting. Through three meaningful quilts and the stories behind them, our featured quilter shares the experiences, inspirations, and growth that have shaped their creative journey. Feel free to leave a comment below. (You may click on any image to see a larger view.)
Heather Pool
Earliest Quilts
Heather made the first quilt for her daughter and then another one two years later for her son when he came along.
A Later Quilt
Heather created this quilt as a raffle item for the Portland Christmas Revels. The program for this particular year was “The Ghosts of Haddon Hall” and Heather was inspired by the Boar’s Head Carol. Her needle-turned applique represents a Boar’s Head Feast; and it’s all set in an English Medieval Castle.
Favorite Quilt
Heather saw this quilt in a book and decided to just make a quilt for herself. This was made from her stash and is sashed by civil war era reproduction fabric. She loves the colors, the size, and the fact that it’s just for her. She says this one is “going with me to the home.”
