Recently, Darren's sister found two more of Grandma Bacon's incredible quilts made by her mother Ann Bunting Ward. These two quilts are a bow-tie and a double wedding ring patterns.<br />

Isn't it amazing that even after over fifty years, we still incorporate the same designs and patterns in our quilts. Although some of our methods and tools may have changed, we are still connected with the past in the most tangible of ways. There is something truly wonderful about being able to wrap up in a quilt made with love and being able to feel the presence of our loved ones past. Isn't it also amazing to know that the quilts we make today can be passed down through our generations, perhaps someday being cuddled in by a grandchild or great-grandchild, feeling that same love that was stitched in to every block. We are proud to display these three quilts by Ann Bunting Ward in our shop, and we are honored to help you create beautiful quilts filled with love.<br />

Ann Bunting Ward</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Creator of The Bed-Warmer Signature Quilt</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ann Bunting Ward Bacon was born in 1868 in Kaysville Utah.
This quilt was made for her granddaughter Ann Bacon Blake (Darren’s mother) in
the early 1940s where it was used extensively in her home. Grandma Bacon never
learned to read or write, because her stepmother made her go to work instead of
attending school. At age 20, she married Arthur Bacon and they had 8 children.
She lost three children to death while they were still very young. The last son
was Lawrence Bacon, who was Darren’s grandfather. Grandma was left a widow at
age 34 but supported her family by doing laundry in her home and serving as a
midwife. She made a little extra money by constructing piece quilts and rag
rugs out of old clothes that the kind people of the town gave to her, and then
selling them. She did not accept charity and raised a very fine family. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This quilt is part of her legacy.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We were very excited to be able to display our signature
quilt and share it with y'all. Now, we were
ready to open for business!</div>

We were honored to have our regional Pfaff representative, Ann Regal and our Pfaff educator, Gina Hodges, join us for our

Pfaff Passport 2.0, and we were excited to see what everybody put down as their
favorite type of fabric on the entry cards. We’re getting more and more all the
time and we’re glad that we can order the kinds of fabrics that our customers
want. </div>

We had so much to do to prepare for our upcoming Grand Opening! Our store space was previously a cellular store, and we had to do a lot of updating to make it into The Bed-Warmer Quilt & Sew. It was a lot of work,
but we sure love how it turned out and we hope you do too!<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The first change we had to make was definitely a big one.
The shop had a curved wall that really threw off the spacing, so it absolutely
had to go.<br />

We removed our curved wall, but we
still needed something to separate our space into the retail area, where you
can peruse our fantastic Pfaff sewing machines and various collections of
fabric; and The Clubhouse, our multipurpose room for classes, guild meetings,
and Sit & Stitch events. So, it was down with one wall and up with another! We
constructed the wall, making sure we had perfect spaces for our very special
windows.<br />

It took a lot of time and effort, but the wall
was up and just needed paint. Oh, and of course our very special windows.</div>

Next came painting. The previous
owners had certainly made some bold paint choices, but we decided to go with
something a little subtler. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
ended up with some nice sand-colored walls, but first we had to prime with a
white base so that the other colors wouldn’t show through. </div>

Now, back to those very special
windows. We decided, that instead of having just plain ol’ windows between our
retail space and Clubhouse, we would make them very unique to The Bed-Warmer
Quilt & Sew. We took quilt block patterns and frosted them onto our
windows.</div>

To get the look we wanted, we first drew the
designs on graph paper, and then enlarged that on the glass and taped off the
design. This design is actually an Arkansas Crossroads block!</div>

The rest of our
renovation included carpeting and furnishing the shop with tables, chairs, and
lots of shelves for fabric! </div>
