T Carter
Quilt Name:
Ojibwe Jingle Pattern Name: Appliqué block: Jacobean Appliqué Book Il—Romantica, Block #2. Published by the American Quilter’s Society in 1995.
Beadwork and jingles: Original design by T Carter
Designer’s Name:  Appliqué block: Patricia Campbell and Mimi Ayars.  Beadwork and jingles: Original design by T Carter.

"This quilt honors Ojibwe culture and the beautiful Minnesota Northwoods. Traditional Anishinaabe floral beadwork—circa 1890s—inspired my designs. I added jingles; more commonly used on jingle dresses—a type of Native American powwow dance regalia worn by women and girls. The Creator gave the jingle dance to the Ojibwe people for the purpose of healing. Traditionally, Indigenous people fashioned jingles from chewing tobacco lids, rolled into cones. Contemporary jingles are made from various metals and often come pre-rolled. I selected jingles manufactured by Missouri River. Swiss satin ribbon, French rickrack and seed beads from Japan and Czechoslovakia embellish the quilt."


 Mary Downey -- Julia's Quilt from pattern Baby Genius Synapse.  " My great-granddaughter is due any day.  Here is her quilt.  I did the same pattern in blue and from left over block pieces I made this blue quilt."

Sally Barber -- Charity quilt from No Match Stars workshop last year. Center blocks are leftovers from the stars.
