Quilt-making an a rt form
"I'm interested in so many
things, and there's so much I
want to do," says Enid Neilan.
"I wish I could turn time back
about 15 years.
"I wouldn't want to live
anything over again," she states.
"I'd want to go right on from
where I am now."
Enid Neilan is 79 years of
age, but her appearance and her
actions deny the truth.
She is noted for her
outstanding handmade quilts and
for her unique method of
quilting with yarn. She
sometimes combines quilting and
tying, but always outlines the
pattem in a complimentary color
to enhance the artistry of her
work.
"I've made close to 50
quilts,' she reckons, "and a few
of the designs were original. I
once made to order a quilt
whose motif was taken from an
unusual and highly prized ring.
My butterfly pattern is an
original, also."
Many of her patterns are the
old standards from long ago
days. Each quilt bears Enid
Neilan's label "Heirloom Quilts'
complete with the date
completed and a designated
number. She keeps a record of
her handwork.
"I like pastel colors," she
confides. "I don't make dark
quilts. A careful selection of
colors makes all the difference in
the finished product.
"Quilt-making is an art
form," she adds. "Many people
just aren't sufficiently careful as
to workmanship. If any two
seams don't come together as
they should the quilt will often
bunch up in the center."
From October 18 through
October 24 Enid Neilan will
present a display of her quilts in
Shelton Art Gallery. She will be
present to discuss her work and
to explain her methods.
Born in Walla Walla, Mrs.
Neilan went to Spokane when
she was 13 years old. She moved
from there to Yakima and then
to Tacoma where she was
graduated from high school.
"I was employed in the
Olympia area for 35 years as an
office worker," she reminisces,
"and after that I lived in Oregon
for several years. I came to
Shelton in August."
In Walla Walla Enid Neilan
assisted a woman who worked in
a thrift shop.
"She made quilts for
low-income families, using
recycled materials," Mrs. Neilan
says. "I learned the basics from
her, and later worked out my
own techniques.
"My grandmother was a
seamstress and a quilt-maker. I
still have a quilt that she made
in 1904."
Mrs. Neilaa's hobbies include
many types of art work. She
does needlepoint and applique.
She paints in watercolors. She
makes tapestries, working with
crayon on canvas.
She plays organ and piano
and was once a mezzo soprano.
"I could have had a career in
radio and TV," she declares. "I
had the voice, but never had the
money for proper training."
She's a carpenter and an
amateur electrician. She gardens,
and pians to join the Dirt
Dabbers Garden Club.
'ly favorite flower is the
iris," she says. "I brought a
camperful of plants with me
when I moved from Oregon.'
She owns an extensive
library, and reads many books.
"I cook just enough to keep
alive," she laughs. "I have too
many other interests to spend
much time in the kitchen.
Her diet is restricted. Enid
Neilan ordinarily does very little
baking and prepares no fancy
foods whatsoever; but when her
son, Donald Neilan of Seattle,
visits with his family Mrs. Neilan
breaks a few rules.
"My granddaughter likes
apple nut cake," she says, "and
we all like homemade bread!"
