Revised July 30, 2008
Scarlett really enjoys seeing the quilts others have made using any of her designs, or quilts of anyone else's Celtic designs. If you've made such a quilt, Scarlett would love to have a photo or digital image of it so that it could be added to this page. Your name would be listed as the maker, so everyone will see who made that wonderful quilt! Please e-mail Scarlett or send the photo to:
P.O. Box 212
Anderson, CA 96007-0212
Scarlett asks that anyone who does use any of her designs, or parts of her designs, that they give credit for the source of their quilt design. If they used Scarlett's and someone else's together, then all the designers should be mentioned. Anywhere a Celtic quilt is shown, this information should be provided.
All Scarlett's designs are copyrighted, so they are not to used commercially by someone who makes quilts for sale. Scarlett hasn't licensed anyone to do that. If you are interested in using Scarlett's designs on items for sale, please email Scarlett to ask for details about the licensing agreement. If your quilt is to be published in a magazine or book, please let Scarlett know about it. Please contact Scarlett for permission and arrangement details beforehand, if you are thinking of selling the pattern for your quilt containing her designs to a magazine or book publisher.
Please respect other people's hard work in creating Celtic designs and give credit where credit is due.
This page has 2008 & 2007 quilts and wallhangings. There are more pages with pictures, so please use the links at the bottom of this page.
Kaaren Biggs of Canada made this quilt with 18 of the block designs from Philomena Durcan's first book Celtic Quilt Designs.
Karen lives in the small town of Simcoe, Ontario, Canada, which is on the north shore of Lake Erie about 2 hours west of Buffalo, New York. Karen says, "I have loved doing Celtic-style applique for several years, both by hand and by machine, and have been teaching the technique as well. I teach a Celtic class and many other classes through a quilt shop called Quilters' Haven in the village of Renton which is just five miles from Simcoe."
Here's Morning Glory, a Celtic design from Beth Ann Williams' book, Celtic Quilts: A New Look for Ancient Designs, made by Kaaren Biggs of Canada. Beth's book is now out of print, but some quilt shops may still have copies available. It's also possible to find it on Amazon through their used book dealers and on eBay.
Kaaren Biggs also made a variation of Celtic Block #260, a pattern design by Marsha Myrum-Thompson of the Celtic Cat. Kaaren changed the loops at the top and bottom of the design to give this Celtic design a different look.
The 4th prize winner in the Predominately Applique (Amateur) category for the 2007 Quilters' Guild of New South Wales, Australia, quilt show is Celtic Windows by Beverley Hunter. This picture was provided by, and used with permission from, the QGNSW. The Celtic border and lattice design is called Celtic Wedding Rings (Interlace in the Round). The layout diagram for Celtic Wedding Rings is available in Celtic Medallion III as printed pattern or as an e-pattern. The pattern contains the knotwork border and circular interlace templates, readily adaptable to make a 90" (2.3m) quilt, but does not have the applique baskets pictured here. Those were added by Beverley Hunter.
