Where did you learn the pattern? \"I didn't use a pattern. This quilt idea came to me in a dream and evolved as it was being made. I thought that the crazy quilt style would allow me to tell the story of my father's life and career, and to use mementos to embellish it. The pattern and the quilt uses a lot of symbolism. The quilt is done primarily in orange and blue, the colors of the university where he taught for 40 years. Since he always wore a white shirt and tie to teach, the quilt contains a shirt placket complete with buttons and a shirt pocket with his name tag attached. The quilt border is representative of a bookshelf. The border is made of pieces of my father's old ties, cut into strips, along with the names of the classes he taught cross-stitched on Aida cloth.\"\r\nOther techniques used include: embroidery, photo transfer, \"beadworks, buttons, mementos, and counted cross-stitch\"\r\nHow did you choose the materials used in your quilt? \"My quilt evolved. The only people aware of my project were my mother and husband. Mom was a very important part of my quilt as she was the one who secretly 'borrowed' the shirts, ties, fabrics and memorabilia for the quilt. Every couple of weeks I would receive a box in the mail with more 'treasures' for my quilt. Even the day before the retirement party we were busily sewing on last minute charms.\"\r\nCommemoration of retirement, achievement, memory/nostalgia\r\nHow long have you been making quilts? \"Since 1984.\"\r\n\r\nHow did you learn to quilt? \"At a class at a quilt shop in Massachusetts. (My maternal grandmother was a quilter at that time).\"\r\nWhat was your primary reason for entering the Lands' End contest? Do you frequently enter your quilts in competition? \"My quilt was already being made when my mother sent me the Lands' End contest brochure. I had never entered a major contest but decided to try. Previous competitions were local state fairs and quilt guild shows.\"\r\nHas being a winner in the Land's End contest made a difference in your life? Has it changed the way you look at your work as a quilt maker? \"Being a winner was a truly exciting moment for me. As a quilter I always put a lot of thought and detail into my projects.

I have boxes of cold fabric in my unheated garage. Perfectly perfect strangers send me fabric they think would fit in my quilts. Isn't that amazing! Sometimes the ugliest cloth is super for birch bark on stones.\"\r\n\"I started to enjoy Russian folk art when I moved to Alaska and wanted to make a still life about the big Tula samovar that was in my dining room.

Fairy tales, heroes, legends, Firebirds, Bogatyrs, saints and dragons -- really just a lot of giant illustrations in fabric.\"\r\nHow long have you been making quilts? How did you learn to quilt? \"I used to make regular quilted quilts for beds. . . I started that about 26 years ago. I came to this reverse applique style because I wanted the look of hand drawn lines. I taught myself.

Actually, I am 1 of 12 quilters who meet once a month to help and criticize each others work. The members of Art Quilt Network North told me not to enter this contest -- so I did! Usually they are right about things esthetic, however.\"\r\nHas being a winner in the Land's End contest made a difference in your life?
