Custom Designs
Florence chooses not to produce quilts
using plans created by someone else. She enjoys creating her
own design, and the challenge of making it a reality.
What colors and patterns are pleasing? How will they work
together? What design will each block feature? These are
questions that challenge and inspire her.
Every quilt presents a mathematical challenge as well. How
much fabric is required? How many squares? How large, and
what shape will each quilted piece be?
One Needle — No Deadline
Once the design is determined, Florence proceeds to
produce each quilt entirely on her own. Every piece is cut
by hand, hand-pressed, and machine-stitched together. Once
the blocks are assembled, she carefully glides a single needle
through the composition to provide the finishing touch. No
helpers. No pressure. No deadline. Just a passion for her
craft that keeps her motivated.
Not Just "Pretty"
A custom-designed,
handmade quilt is more than decorative accessory. When these
quilts are displayed in a home or office, it's an exhibit
of appreciation for an art form that dates back centuries.
Earney quilts represent the spirit of an individual's innovation
and determination. They're proudly produced. They should be
proudly displayed.
