NASHUA, Iowa — Giant pumpkins, flowers planted in quilt block designs, eggplant in many colors and shapes and flower varieties that are getting hardier and more colorful each year were featured at the recent Iowa State University Demonstration Home Garden field day at the Nashua Research Farm. Cindy Haynes, ISU horticulture associate professor, who coordinates the demonstration gardens, said research farm superintendents are competing to see who can grow the largest pumpkin. The favorite part of the garden for Haynes is an area where Pecinovsky planted marigolds, petunias and vinca in two red, gold and white quilt block patterns she designed. A fourth of the garden was planted to tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, beans, sweet corn and zinnias in soils amended or not amended with compost. Egg plant varieties ranging from the standard deep purple Epic to purple striped Listada de Gandia, green Applegreen, white Ghostbuster, orangish red Jilo Tingua Verde to the small Red Ruffled, which resembles miniature pumpkins, are all producing abundantly. Myrna Ross, whose late husband, Ken, was research farm superintendent for many years, still helps Pecinovsky with the garden.

Take, for instance, small contemporary art quilts, which have found their place among the oil paintings and marble statues in fine-art galleries and museums. Inspired in part by nature, she creates sweeping vistas in small quilt spaces, such as “Sand Dunes National Monument I” at (40-by-50 centimetres/16-by-20 inches). Raymond, a corporate attorney for many years who continues to practise law, started out as a traditional quilter and turned to art quilting to challenge herself. David Walker, who lives in Cincinnati, has travelled the globe teaching quilting for 14 years, and recently came off a six-year quilting hiatus brought on by his extensive teaching schedule. Those web designs, and many of his small art quilts, generally sized at 23-by-30 centimetres (9-by-12 inches), may be seen at his website, Davidwalker. Walker likes the immediacy and intimacy of small art quilting.

The road construction will involve curb cuts and the installation of decorative pavement intended to make the triangular parcel of vacant land across from Carleton Grange, formerly power company property now owned by Mandel Group, more attractive to prospective retail tenants. Selling refurbished clothing, household items, collectibles, toys and games, videos, books, decorations, shoes, and more, Hoffner said Cheryl’s Family Resale caters to everyone, but she said the difference between her store and Goodwill is the quality. When making her son a quilt, Bay View resident Danielle Lussier was frustrated when she couldn’t find a fabric store in Bay View. Lussier plans to expand Drawstring Studio with more products from local crafters and to carry more fabric patterns with seasonal colors.
