Description:
Jaimie had been a quilter for two years when she made her Baltimore Album quilt entitled Davis Album Quilt. She had made several blocks, but at that time had never seen an appliqué quilt in person. When she and her husband moved to Portland, Jaimie joined a guild where one of the early meetings was on Baltimore Album quilts. She decided to bring a bunch of the blocks that she had made to show to the speaker that evening. Not knowing whether she was doing appliqué right or not, having only seen it in a book, she came prepared to present. Once the meeting was over, she was told not to show her blocks to the speaker, but rather to someone who worked at a local quilt shop, who told her what she was doing was right. Relieved, she left, but unbeknownst to Jaimie that person recommended to the shop owner that Jaimie be hired to teach there. Hired to teach at the shop after that meeting, Jaimie took her blocks and with them created her second appliqué quilt, the Davis Album Quilt.
