Leaf Symphony, Mountain Top Quilters' newest opportunity quilt, is now being shown at
quilt shows and other venues throughout Arizona. It will be raffled June 7, 2008, at the
Everybody's Hometown Quilt Show at the Yavapai Community College Gymnasium in
Prescott, Arizona. Tickets are available for $1.00 each or 6 for $5.00.
Many MTQ members helped make this beautiful quilt, either by doing applique, piecing
blocks or donating fabric to achieve the varied color ranges of the leaves. The outer edges
of the quilt are covered in numerous "prairie points."
Linda Marley, Pat Folsom, Audrey Jessee, Udean Helton, Kristi McHugh and Phyllis Sager comprised the opportunity committee. They assembled the pieced leaf blocks and selected color placement of the leaf elements as well as assembling the quilt top. The center
block was appliqued by Carol Hood. Vera Burns appliqued all four of the border vine stems. Kay Harlan, Julie Dodds, Barbara Merkel and Sharon Heilman each appliqued one of
the leaf borders. The four acorn corner blocks were appliqued by Evelyn Russell,
Joyce Cummings, Sally Becker and Barbara Phiel. The resulting work was enhanced by Gwen McNallan's exceptional machine quilting. The prairie point outer edges and other finishing work was done by Pat Folsom, Evelyn Russell, Linda Marley and Carol Miller.
