“As Makers, we turn a house into a home. A van, a boat, a tent, a picnic under a tree, or a fort made of quilts becomes a home, because of a Maker’s special touch. Wherever we are, we create a sense of place, with needle and thread. Makers color their home with love. I hope you’ll find a reflection of your own sense of home in the projects you create with Makers Home. Thank you, Windham Fabrics, and all of the Makers, for making this possible.”

MAKERS AND HOMES “I am a firm believer that we all get there together. Each one of these makers has at one time or another taken me under their wing, helping me along the way. So, once again, I asked this group of professionals to make a 30" x 30" quilt using Makers Home to show you their own style and creativity.
a. Makers Make by Amy Ellis quilter Amy Ellis
b. Amongst the Flowers by Rose Hughes
d. Forest Abstractions by Violet Craft
e. Chic Diamonds by Jenny Pedigo
g. Glimmer by Julie Herman quilter Teresa Silva
h. Makers Garden by Natalie Barnes quilter Teresa Silva
They each have created a project (and pattern) using different techniques. Just like there are many different ways to define “home”, each one of us as Makers bring our own unique voice to every project we accomplish. I am thankful for every step we take together.”
Because of our strong sense of community, this year, every one of these Makers has agreed to auction their quilt to benefit a charity of their own choosing. Please pick up a catalog with information on how you might bid on one of these beautiful quilts. You could be the recipient of a lovely piece of art, and someone else could be the recipient of your gift of giving. Because, after all, we all get there together.”
