Winter Memories, 59 x 65", by Rose Rumball-Petre


We love the combination of piecing and wool applique in this fun quilt!  It was machine pieced, hand appliqued and hand quilted.  It was displayed at the 5 Bee Quilters Guild show near Sun Valley, Idaho in October, 2017. This is a local (Sun Valley) design variation of the Poorhouse Quilt Design's Winter Memories quilt pattern from a class taught by Susan Coons, who often teaches at the Sun Valley Fabric Granary.


Susan redesigned the center block and added a Sun Valley Sun near the top. The barn is embellished with "Sun Valley" embroidery, so it resembles the iconic red barn on Sun Valley Road. You can see Rose's wool applique details, embellishments, and hand quilting on the adorable snowman, below.

  1. This time of year I see a lot of quilts with themed blocks. The most interesting part is the personal touch and embellishments that add such charm.
