Cardinal Creations

Cardinal Creations

 Cardinal Creations is a consignment craft shop located on M-55 between Cadillac and Lake City.  Their barn has been transformed into a wonderful shop offering quality crafts from local artists.  They also have a longarm quilting machine.

Proprietors Mollie and Heather drafted their spouses to do the work of installing the blocks on this beautiful little red barns.

Blazing Star and Maple leaf blocks were chosen for no particular reason except that the proprietors liked them.
All ready for their grand opening on May 23, 2015.



Grandfathering

Several quilt blocks were painted by people in the county before a quilt trail was established.  We invited them to become a part of the quilt trail (for a small fee to be used for promotin).

Patches and Petals


11978 Watergate Rd.
Cadillac
Patches and Petals is a quilt shop located three miles east of Cadillac on M-55.  Four blocks were commissioned by the owner.  Two of them, Aunt Sukey's Choice and an applique block, draw your eye to the front of the shop, which is housed in an old remodeled house.
 Behind the house is the remains of an old barn.  The cement walls make a good background for Card Trick and Martha Washington Star.

Sandy Wiltzer of  Brushed Blessings painted the blocks.
