If you've made such a quilt, Scarlett would love to have a photo or digital image of it so that it could be added to this page. Your name would be listed as the maker, so everyone will see who made that wonderful quilt! Please e-mail Scarlett or send the photo to:

Joan Sayre of Chester, CA, entered this quilt in the Chester Piecemakers Quilt Guild Show, held on August 7 & 8, 2010. She used a design from Michiko Shima's Quick Bias Quilt Book, the sample quilt is shown on page 51. Even though the book is written in Japanese, Joan was able to figure how to do this pattern. She had seen a lecture presented by Scarlett Rose, featuring some of Michiko Shima's quilts and received Michiko's book as a gift from her friend, Carol Bunch.
Here's a closeup of Joan's quilt, which she titled "Celtic Design I" She hand appliqued and hand quilted this quilt.
Scarlett attended the Chester quilt show and tracked Joan down so they could pose for a picture together!
Sharon Ann Waggoner of Springfield, IL finished "Orange Poppies" in 2010. She adapted the border design from Scarlett's quilt "Out of Darkness: Hope" for her 76" square quilt. Scarlett's Celtic border design is in her book Baskets: Celtic Style on page 54. Sharon says "I needled turned the appliqué, and hand dyed the blue border plus two of the arcs that the flying geese are in. Ran out of the blue I was using and could not find any to match. Some of the fabrics that I dyes were the white on whites. They turn out pretty neat. The quilting took abut 1 1/2 years to do. Some areas were hard to decided on what to quilt in them. I drew up all the patterns myself, feathers and 8 spider webs." This quilt will be on display at the AQS quilt show in Des Moines, IL on Oct. 6 thru 9th, 2010.
In January 2010, Kelly Jackson was at a longarm quilt guild meeting in Maumee, OH. She took this picture of Cindy's quilt top, made from the Celtic Wedding Rings pattern.
Kim Olson's very first Celtic project was this pillow. She says "The pillow is probably one of the blocks from Philomena Durcan’s first book, Celtic Quilt Designs. We got it as a kit in class with the pattern already transferred to the fabric, but I remember the instructor showing us Philomena’s first book. It was a great one to learn Celtic with because it has points, curves, loops, and two interlaced pieces. I liked it so much I purchased the stencil from StenSource in the Philomena Durcan Themes Collection so I could do it again."
This picture is a quilt top Kim just finished for her brother. She took a pattern for a 24” wallhanging from Karen Coombs book, Celtic Illusions, and enlarged it to be 72”. With the borders, the quilt top is about 104” square. Kim lives in Alaska.
