Gwen Gwinner Quilts
Around 20 years ago, Gwen’s daughter asked her to make a memory quilt from the clothes from a family member that had passed away. With basic sewing skills, she knew how to cut and sew the many blocks that eventually became a quilt top.
Wanting to learn hand quilting, Gwen purchased a quilt frame from a shop, and a Mennonite friend sat down to show her the process of hand quilting.
Gwen’s passion for quilt-making in the traditional Mennonite style has continued since that day! Gwen says, “It always amazes me how a bit of fabric can become beautiful quilts. I enjoy the process to the very last stitch!”

All the roses, leaves and vines are quilted in burgundy thread. The back of the quilt is a traditional cream color muslin. The length of the quilt can be folded up over the pillows, and the roses are quilted across it, as well as at the bottom border, finished with diagonal quilted lines.
