A little about Ann
Originally from Illinois, She moved to southeastern
Pennsylvania and became addicted to collecting
antique quilts and textiles. Her current collecting
interests are antique pillowcases, doll quilts, doll aprons
quilt blocks and fabrics. She has been making quilts for many

years, specializing in small quilts made from antique

 and vintage fabrics. She resides in Ambler, Pennsylvania with

 her husband and twin boys. When she is not in the

 "quilt laboratory" at home designing new quilts, she

is in her chemistry lab at work designing new molecules

A little about Ann's presentation
Pennsylvania German Patchwork Pillowcases and Other Small Treasures

The German immigrants to Southeastern Pennsylvania

developed a rich, and very colorful, quilting heritage after

 they arrived in America.  Ann's presentation will focus

on a special item that seems to be rarely found outside

the counties of  Southeastern, PA--pieced and appliqué pillowcases. 

My collection dates from 1829-1900. I will also share a
few PA German patchwork “privy” bags, as well as small
quilts I have made that were inspired by antique patchwork.

Scrappy Little Houses

Have you caught the little house bug. It is an epidemic on a lot

of quilt blogs. It all started here in the Netherlands.They are

 fun "little" blocks and it is amazing to be working on a project

with quilter's  from all over the world. It is not to late to

 get started, I am making blocks here and there and

 not trying to make one a day like Jeanneke is.

 Order the pattern today and get started.
