Grandmother's Fan

Mary Beth Zuiderveen wanted to honor her five grandchildren with this colorful Grandmother's Fan quilt block on the (almost) Centennial farm.  Each of the fan blades represents a different child.  You can see the block at 3301 S. 7 Mile Rd., Falmouth, MI.

Installation of the block can be interesting to say the least. You use the equipment/tools at your disposal.  And look who is doing the work and who is watching!

Windmill

Windmills dot the countryside in the area where this "Windmill" quilt block resides.  You'll find it on the front of Steve's Tire at 9190 County Line Road, Marion, MI.

Steve and Brenda VanHouten chose this simple Windmill block both because they reside in the heart of the Heritage Energy Wind Farm and because both Steve and Brenda are of Dutch ancestry dating back into the 1600's.
