This country style quilt is crafted from the Yellow Brick Road pattern by Atkinson Designs.

This wonderful country quilt was used as a bed covering for a recent church conference for youth. It is displayed on our living room love seat and measures 57" by 75". With a Vera Bradley print as the border, the body was pieced from coordinating yellow & blue fabrics.

Here is a Christmas quilt top made from the Just Can't Cut It pattern by All Washed Up.

It is shown on a queen size bed and measures 62 x 86" but could be made larger by adding additional borders. Fabrics include Thimbleberries, RJR, SSI & Baum.

In the late summer of 2004, Beth crafted this "Batik Shooting Star" quilt top using the Atkinson Designs' Shooting Star pattern.

It is shown on a queen size bed and measures roughly 62 x 86"

Beth's great love is quilting. She has told the story several times over the years about wanting to somehow let her love of fabric help to provide an income for the family.

When we moved from Arizona to Iowa in 2005, our daughter, Heather, asked if her Mom would make her a quilt. This is what she made.

The quilt is machine sewn and quilted except for the binding. It measures just over 48 inches square and was available for sale as a set of quilt blocks until Heather made her request.

One of the oldest and most beloved quilt patterns is the log cabin. The rectangular strips sewn into the geometric simplicity has long been a favorite of quilters.

In 2002, Beth designed this quilt. It used the log cabin pattern, but with a twist. Beth found some fabric which featured cats and used that to create squares which created the illusion of cats looking out the window. Hence the name.

This quilt top is about 42 inches square and was designed to be ornamental.

In 2006, Beth created this second quilt. It used the log cabin pattern, but with the same twist as the first.

This quilt top is about 44 inches square and was also designed to be ornamental.

When the Dropped Stitch was in its infancy, Beth crafted some bears, cats and other stuffed animals for craft shows in eastern Iowa. Barkley and Beau, shown here with the Batik Shooting Star quilt top, are the last remnants of days gone by. Beth thought about using them to promote the quality of our products after our oldest granddaughter, Ellie, "put them down for a nap" one afternoon in late 2003.

They have been a popular part of our promotions ever since that time.

Coincidentally, Ellie is our Heather's daughter.

Quite some time ago (when Ellie was much younger than she is now), Grandma had laid out a set of quilt blocks for a picture. Ellie thought it was play time.
I guess the blocks at Grandma's house are a lot different than the blocks at home.
