Gertie & Ernie

I would like to introduce Ms. Taloulabelle A.K.A. Gertie, Gert, Gertrude Elizabeth, Bert, Bertie... the list could go on forever. Taloulabelle Design Co. is named after Ms. Gertie. Jenni always calls Gertie by Little Ms. Taloulabelle and one day we were trying to name our new business and Taloulabelle Design Co. just stuck!

Here is a picture of Gertie posing on a quilt pieced and long armed by Jenni Ackerman. The pattern is called Charmed, and the fabric is Peas & Carrots by Moda designed by Sara Tuttle.

Jenni entered this quilt in the Iowa State Fair 2008 and took 2nd Place. It was entered as a last minute quilt!! Great Job Jenni!

This is Ernie; he is a very photogenic!! He absolutely loves having his picture taken; if you pose him he will stay that way until you have taken a picture of it. The quilt the he is "posing" on is pieced and long armed by Jenni Ackerman.

Photography is done by Abby Sisk of Abigail G. Sisk Photography & Graphic Design.
