9 x 13 , quilted and bound. I utilized batiks and regular cottons, colored pencils, embroidered words from my Bernina.
The picture is from the Northstar Mall in San Antonio Texas. The boots are actually 35 ft tall and in the Ginnis World Records. I am from San Antonio but live in Phoenix Arizona.

My piece for Hometown Proud is 11"x 10". My town is Springfield, Oregon. I think I got it all in.
I wanted to depict the river that runs through our town. In addition.. The wild f!owners, Oregon greenery, a little snow and lots of rain....that's us....
My home town for 42 years is Barker NY along Lake Ontario and 40 minutes east of Niagara Falls. They call it God's country, not sure why, for me it's the water and incredible sunrises and sunsets.
It is mostly farms, we have corn (or the current crop of choice) on 3 sides of us and across the road (route #18) is more corn! That may appear in a future challenge.

Hometown Pride - to me it’s all about family and this is made for my brother-in-law who loves trains, and gets very cold when sat at train stations in his wheelchair.
The middle bottom truck is due to his granddaughter wanting him to have his specialist footwear made pink with purple spots! Lol

Project Quilting 9.1
Hometown Pride
I have lived in Buhl for 25 years now. When you think of Buhl you think of rainbow trout. If you have ordered a trout filet in a restaurant you have most likely eaten a trout from Idaho. And guaranteed to be boneless because if their state of the are processing.
My project is fused appliqué and machine stitched. Accents of hand quilting with pearl cotton. It measures 18” high by 23” wide.
This is my own design.
I live in Portland, Oregon, the largest city in Oregon which is known for its wide variety of parks, including the Smallest Park in the World, according to Guinness Book of Records. Because of all the parks, I used flowers and leaves to cover most of the seams in this crazy quilt. In the center, I used blackwork to show iconic parts of Portland; the Portland sign which is highly recognizable to anyone from here, one of our many bridges, and Mt. Hood, which can be seen from practically everywhere in Portland.
I decided to do this one as a crazy quilt because I love crazy quilting and because I found out about this challenge the night before I was leaving for a three day work trip and wanted a piece I could work on while away. I intend to challenge myself further by doing a different type of quilt for each theme; paper piecing, whole quilt, needle turn applique, etc.

This project is 16 x 26. I currently live in Lawrence, Kansas but I spent many years living at the base of the San Bernardino forest in California.
This is how I remember the forest. I was always mesmerized by the way the light and different colors would peek through the trees.

“Standing Tall”
19” x 19”
JeanAnn Fenrich, playing with fiber and fabrics in Scandia, Minnesota.
For 27 years I lived in Martin County Minnesota where many small towns are surrounded by fields of corn, soy beans, cattle and hog buildings. I am so proud to have been a part of the community that supported the many farm families. How fortunate we are to have an agricultural community dedicated to raising the crops and animals that feed all of us.
I picked 3 stalks of corn (Standing Tall) to represent the sweet corn people enjoy, the feed for animals and all the many by-products corn brings to the world.
The background is pieced from Moda’s Composition line. The inspiration for the cornstalks came from Google copyright free pictures. I thought I might make my piece dimensional so I quilted the background before adding the raw edge appliqué. The corns on the cobs were stitched with a decorative stitch on my Bernina. The leaves have some free motion stitching and I stole bits of wool yarn from my knitting stash for the corn silk. Because the location is not easily identified, I wanted to add the community name and decided to use the Longitude and Latitude for Fairmont, which is the County Seat for Martin County. Farm equipment is so sophisticated today AG producers depend on GPS so it was logical to use this location and it was machine embroidered.

Finished my #projectquilting 9.1 challenge. Hometown Pride.
My family moved to San Luis Obispo when I was young. I just love the California Central Coast. One of my favorite things is the proximity to the ocean and many great beaches.
My quilt is of the iconic Morro Rock. A ancient volcanic plug from the 1st of a string of 7 extinct volcanos in the area. I spent a lot of time here and still visit when I can.
It measures 8" x 11" and is pieced, appliqued, and free motion quilted.

Hometown Pride #pqseason9
Reminiscing about childhood makes me think about riding my bike downtown. Summer destinations the library or swimming pool, wintertime going tobogganing down by the river. In any season, you pass the historic water tower in the village center. The design inspiration was also Riverside being home to many Frank Lloyd Wright homes.
Thanks #projectquilting for getting me to think practically how to make a Wright window inspired quilt. After many different generations of water towers, I decided to keep to the arts and crafts simplicity, including a miniature hand stitched water tower as an ode to Riverside.
Hand stitching inspired by slow stitching class I recently attended with Maday Delgado.
Created in Wisconsin Size 36 x 48

My Hometown Proud interpretation, just a small one--6" finished. I've always been proud of each of the cities I've lived in (all in CA).
Home is Where the Heart Is (or was), in South San Francisco, Eureka, Merced, Newark, and now Fremont.
Fun, fun, fun.
Thanks,

I completed my first ever Project Quilting Challenge! You have to make a quilt on a specific topic, within a week. It was lots of fun.
What makes my hometown of Muskego special? The lakes of course! Little Muskego, Big Muskego and Denoon. My quilt is 5" square with appliquéd lakes and quilted roads. I used google maps to get outlines of the lakes and layout of the roads.
Now, I'm eligible to win a prize. You can vote for your favorite starting Sunday afternoon.

Goderich Township, Ontario, Canada--this 16 x16" piece is based loosely on the logo of the rural township, Goderich Township, where we live and farm. It covers many things that I enjoy about living here. Our township's land is one of the most productive for growing crops, including wheat, in our province.
We are located on the west coast of Lake Huron, one of the Great Lakes. We have gorgeous sunsets--beautiful enough that National Geographic has put ours in the top ten in the world! The red binding is to represent the apple orchards that are in the township.
This piece was created for the Project QUILTING Challenge “Hometown Proud.”
