OOPS! This should have been posted under the January Swap!
Isn't this the cutest I spy quilt ever??? Oksewglad also sent me a very detailed letter to explain the quilt!
Gladie put together an awesome collection of things that Iowa are known for...
In the northwest corner ...
Iowa put great emphasis on education, windmills are raising up on the prairie since alternative engergy is becoming so popular, ice cream (who doesn't love ice cream) Did you know that Blue Bunny Ice Cream is made in Iowa? (I didn't) And, John Deere one of the most common tractors and combine seen in the farm fields.
In the southwest corner...
A farmer, Hamphire hogs fed on Iowa corn, The pheasant (Chinese imported game bird) and Iowa State University
In the southeast corner...
A four patch of the four seasons (very creative!) Iowa is a land of extremes cold frigid winters, hot humid summers. A church for her surname and a tribute to the many empty spires on the landscape. A hot air balloon, and of course corn. In case you've never been to Iowa there are miles and miles and miles of corn!
In the northeast corner there is a patch to represent her home, a dairy farm with 110 milking cows! A airplane, Iowa was home to the world's first stewadess. A shock of wheat for Norman Borlaug, raised in Iowa and developed strains of wheat that allowed India to become an exporter of wheat. He saved millions of lives with his research. A clock, the Bily brothers carved local hardwoods in the early 1900's and there is a Bily Clock Museum in Spillville.
In the very center is the Eastern goldfinch (state fbird) and a wild rose (state flower). The oak is the state tree
She also enclosed some postcards of Iowa scenes and fabric samples from Sandy Gervais, a well know Iowa quilter.
Gladie has made Iowa proud!

Now to shovel the 24 inches off the driveway and wait for the snow plow to hit the streets.
