Quilting by the River Home page
Quilting by the River is a quilt design based company launched by
Daniel E. Burke in Lansing, Michigan. Six months ago, my position was
eliminated, ending my 18 year career in the title insurance industry. I
thought it was a perfect time to start a new career from a hobby I love!
I began quilting in 2006, taking a few classes, attempting to master the
basics. After my first class, I came across Judy Neimeyer's patterns and
fell in love....the first pattern I completed of Judy's was "Hawaiian Star".
(See the Gallery page for a photo). It was accepted at the Rocky Mountain
Quilt Museum in Golden, Colorado for the Exhibit "By the Hands of Men"
and was on display there from October 31, 2007 to February 2, 2008. It
was very exciting for me.
In April, 2007, I met quilt designer Jacqueline deJonge from The
Netherlands while we were both in Paducah, KY for the AQS Show. Her
designs are incredible! I knew I had to do one...so I bought 4 of them!
(See the Gallery page for photos of Jewel and Joy.) Jacqueline really
inspired me to create my own designs.
I will be continually adding patterns to the site as they become available.
If you have a need for a specific design for your Statler Stitcher (c),
please contact me and we would be happy to create it for you.
At any one time, I have at least 4 works in progress. Beginning in April,
2008, I will have a Foundation Pieced Block Series available for purchase
at Everlasting Stitches in Holt, Michigan (see Links page).
I enjoy custom work and welcome commissions. I would be happy to do a
Trunk Show for you and begin a piece of Quilt Art for you!
