The Mutton Conductors

My favorite part of this quilt is the dogs, also known in the sheep industry as “Mutton Conductors.”

I liked this quilt enough to make two of them.

The original quilt was auctioned on behalf of the Oregon Sheep Breeders Association.

It now hangs in the Coos County Extension Office as a piece of Agricultural Art.

In keeping with the theme of this exhibit "Evolution of a Quilter" the next quilt is one I completed this year. It is a far contrast from the sheep quilt above.

Pepper Dish

45 x 45 inches

Created in a Judy Neimeyer class in Idaho in 2006.

If you look closely, you can see where Judy signed it.

The bright colors in this quilt appeal to me.

I enjoyed collecting all the different batik fabrics.

My favorite process was the machine quilting.
