One summer we built a 'town' in the woods and called it 'Crooked Lane'. In my quilt, the four colors represent us, four sisters. In the center medallion, the parallel bars are the outlines of 'streets' made from sticks and rocks; the checked areas where the bars cross are the multi-trunked 'trees' which were our houses and stores. This quilt is an original idea, hand-pieced and hand-quilted; it is made of 100% cotton fabric with a polyester batting. The quilting is done approximately one-half inch apart except for the leaf and vine borders and uses designs from nature such as birds, flowers, rainbows and ripples in a pond. There are also hearts representing sisterly love. Outside the medallion the design is enlarged to show grown-up sisters going off in their own directions as ripples in a pond echo out from their beginning.\"\r\n\r\nResume: \"Terrie began teaching quilting in 1978 and has taught for the University of Wisconsin, Medford Extension; and at the Gallery of Arts and Crafts, So-Fro Fabrics, Museum of East Texas, first United Methodist Church, and Angelina College in Lufkin, Texas, The Cozy Quilters quilt shop in Crockett, Texas, and Hobby Lobby in Hot Springs, Arkansas. In addition, she has given lectures and workshops for various guilds and organizations and teaches a variety of quilting classes in her home studio.\r\n\r\nTerrie's original quilt, 'Crooked Lane' was chosen as the State winner from Texas in the Good Housekeeping/Lands' End 'All-American Quilt Contest' in 1992; and 'Bouquets' won a Judge's Choice award in the 'Salute to Quiltmakers of the Past' challenge sponsored by Lehman Publications, RJR Fashion Fabrics, and the Smithsonian Institution, 1995, and was published in the November 1995 issue of Quilter's Newsletter Magazine. It also appeared on the cover of the show program for the 1995 International Quilt Festival in Houston, Texas. An original technique, 'Twinkling Star', using the Cathedral Window unit, was published in the 1996 Spring issue of American Quilter Magazine. 'Arbor Day' won first place in Creative Quilting magazine's small quilt contest and was published in the November/December 1997 issue. Her quilts are in private collections and an original commissioned quilt, 'Colorful Past/Bright Future' hangs in the education room at the Museum of East Texas.\r\n\r\nShe has studied with internationally-known fiber artists and is a member of the American Quilter's Society, International Quilt Association, Arkansas Quilters' Guile, of which she is the 1998 Chairperson of the Daytime Group, Hot Springs Area Quilting Guild in Hot Springs, Arkansas, Village Quilt Guild in Hot Springs Village, Arkansas, Conway Quilters Guild in Conway, Arkansas, Stitchers in Time, and a founding member and former board member of The Quilt Guild of the Pineywoods and Busy Bee Quilters in Lufkin, Texas.\"\r\nIf your quilt is based on a traditional pattern or an earlier quilt, what is the name of the pattern?

I love the way curved lines quilt.\"\r\n\"I started this quilt when my son was sent to Iraq -- during deployment for the Gulf War. As events developed and grew more dangerous, I worked longer hours, added more hand quilting, made the stitches tinier and tinier. It started out to be a graceful feather quilting pattern, but the way it ended up, the quilting seems to be the center of a tornado. The thing makes me dizzy to this day. The quilt stayed in the closet, except for entering it in this contest, for 6 years, until my son married. I gave it to him for a wedding present and told him how and when it came to be made (I think I would have gone mad had I not had my quilting to keep me straight). It has always been relaxing. This time it was my salvation. My son never knew at the time just how worried I was and it was a chance (my giving him the quilt) for us both to let go of those feelings. I also gave him a color copy of the brochure Lands' End published with the winner's listed and my son and his new wife were a bit overwhelmed by the gift.\"\r\nHow long have you been making quilts? \"I started in 1986 when I moved to a town of 250 people in Central MT and didn't know a soul.

Challenge to myself not to purchase any fabric as foremothers on the prairie did not, but used only available scraps and pieces.\" \"The wonderful quilts constructed by our great grandmothers as they forged across our new country, establishing homesteads in the face of such adversity have always fascinated me. As a fledgling quilter, I began collecting antique block patterns with small pieces. Vowing to work within the same constraints as our ancestors did, purchasing nothing, using only scraps on hand, I began piecing a few of these blocks just to try using an old piece of border print in a variety of ways. It became addictive and I continued with the challenge until I had done a dozen. Only then did I decide to attempt designing a central medallion out of a log cabin star and figuring out sashing to attempt a real quilt. Adding prairie points in honor of the prairie women, I completed the top having bought no new material, incorporating scraps from my daughter's childhood dresses and doing it all by hand -- from templates, no strip piecing. After hand quilting I named it \"Echoes From the Prairie\" -- and felt that it was really based on those who had gone before me -- a link that bound us together.\"\r\nHow long have you been making quilts? \"'Echoes From the Prairie' was my first real quilt, I began around 1987.\"\r\n\r\nHow did you learn to quilt? \"I only work by hand and have always done a lot of needlepoint and embroidery.

Do you frequently enter your quilts in competition? \"Friends 'insisted' I send 'Prairie's' picture into the contest. Since that time I have entered this and other quilts in juried shows -- AQS, AIQA, NQA, Silver Dollar City,, Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival -- at the encouragement and insistence of my husband.\"\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? \"Although the machine art of making quilts has become the norm, I still work only the old way -- don't do any except by hand. I have won several Best of Show ribbons and many others, but do not consider this my main satisfaction. The act of leaving a legacy of my own thoughts and dreams tenderly sewn into my hand-done quilts is what makes me continue to quilt. I enjoy the design process and the thrill of telling a story in cloth for the generations to come. Each of my quilts takes about 2 years and is original.

\r\nIf your quilt is based on a traditional pattern or an earlier quilt, what is the name of the pattern? Where did you learn the pattern? \"Log Cabin Center, Stacked Bricks inner border and applique on the final border. This was one of the first and favorite patterns when I first started quilting. I like to take traditional patterns and arrange them in new ways.\"

\r\nOther techniques used include: surface embellishment \"with button hold stitch of black yarn.\"

\r\nHow did you choose the materials used in your quilt? \"I love the deep, dark rich colors of folk art, so it was very easy to pick out my favorite colors of fabric. I just buy 'lots' ¼ yds (fats) of fabric, then try to put them all together. Folk art and scrap quilts are my favorite quilts. This helps justify my buying all that fabric -- HA.\"

\r\nHow long have you been making quilts? \"Ten wonderful years.\"

\r\nHow did you learn to quilt? \"Self taught. This is my passion. I now teach and lecture on quilting as well as wearable art garments. It is wonderful doing what you love!\"

\r\nWhat was your primary reason for entering the Lands' End contest? Do you frequently enter your quilts in competition? \"It was my daughter who gave me the information on the contest. 'Here Mom, enter this contest,' OK, I'll enter. But I know I will not win! I just wanted to see if I could do it.\"

\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? \"I still can not believe I'm PA state winner. Every time I look at my quilt, I get a deep satisfaction of a job well done, and that other people enjoy my work. I love to enter competitions, I think this helps you to grow as a quilter and person. Everyone should try -- whether you win or not -- you will enjoy the ride!\"","QuiltTopF054":"Benzo, Terry","LocMadeF057a":"Pittsburgh","ProvStateF057d":"Pennsylvania (PA)","ProvCountryF057f":["United States"],"ReasonsF060":["Art or personal expression","Challenge or Contest entry","Personal enjoyment"],"QDesignF060b":["Artwork/wall hanging"],"ContestListF071a":"This quilt was part of the Lands' End All-American Quilt Contest. 1996 Pennsylvania State Winner","OtherSourceMat":"Published in Scrap Quilts 1997 (Oxmoor House) - Quilt traveled through PA for 9 months.","RelItemsF088a":"http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/r?ammem/qlt:@FIELD(DOCID+@LIT(le163))","OwnershipF082":"Private","OwnerCityF084":"Pittsburg","OwnerStateF086":"Pennsylvania (PA)","OwnerCountryF086b":["United States"],"MaidenF097b":"Glowacki","GenderF098":["Female"],"BirthDateF099":"06-28-1937","BirthplaceStateF098b":"Pennsylvania","BirthplaceCountryF098d":"United States","MarriageF099b":"c.1962","EthnicF101":"Polish","RelAffF103":"Catholic","OccupationF104":"Retired","EnviroF104c":["Urban"],"CountyF106":"Allegheny","CityF106a":"Pittsburgh","StateF107":"Pennsylvania (PA)","CountryF108":["United States"],"LearnedToQuiltF117":["Self-Taught","Other"],"WhenQuiltF118":["Age 20-29"],"WhyQuiltF119":["Gifts","Pleasure"],"OtherF119a":"Also learned from books.","NameGroupF120":"Three Rivers Quilters, Pittsburgh, PA.","NumQuiltsF123":"more than 50","SellQuiltF127":"yes","TeachF129":"yes","FavesF130":"Cottons/Wools - Log Cabin - Hand Quilt, Applique","CustomsF131":"Terry's cats \"help\" with quilting.","AddNotesF132":"Won Best of PA in 1996 Registered in Library of Congress This quilt traveled to Europe with an exposition sponsored by Quilters Newsletter Magazine and published in 7 books.","description":"This quilt is part of the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress \"Quilts and Quiltmaking in American: 1978-1996 exhibit.
