Firehouse Quilts of Colorado, Inc.

Current FHQ Logo by Samantha Romage

2012 until

Although we are not associated with any particular fire department, we use the image

of a firetruck in our logo. 

It has a blue & yellow quilt

in the back panel showing

our quilts are onboard for

every emergency and

will be given to children

in crisis and in need.

The red stitching line curves down from the fender

to reveal a heart,

every quilt is made with love.

Samantha Romage is an aspiring children’s book illustrator

(a new member of the Society of Children's Book Writers

and Illustrators) that has had a passion for art

ever since she could barely hold a pencil.

This is probably due to her having a supportive and

creative family. So after those toddler years, Fraggle Rock

and many boxes “little tiny noodles with holes in them”

(macaroni and cheese}, she made her way in becoming

an illustrator and designer.

She has lived in quite a few places; but loving the towns

and the city of Boston, Samantha graduated with a

degree in illustration from Montserrat College of Art in Beverly, Massachusetts in 2007.  She formally studied art for ten years and now happily resides in the north shore area working as a graphic designer while also working and striving to make her illustration career dream become a reality.

Along with art, she enjoys playing games, movies,

sewing, writing, politics and doing what she can

to make the world a little better.

Samantha has some great drawings on her website,

that's why I contacted her in 2011 to see what

we could create for our new logo. 

To learn more about her or see more of her work,

We look forward to using it for many years.

Great Job, Sam!

1st FHQ Logo by Cathy Furstenau

Logo proudly used from 2006 - 2011

Cathy Furstenau, one of our FHQ volunteers, is a great artist;

she drew this cute little Dalmatian puppy sitting behind the firefighter’s helmet for us. 

Cathy donated this drawing as a tribute to her Dad, Jack Downes (03/17/17-09/17/95)

who devoted his time and energy to  being a volunteer fire fighter for 30 years.

“FHQ has been the ideal spot for me to honor my father's memory.    

I wanted to do something special just for him and FHQ served my purpose.  

Giving to others is the nicest compliment & memorial I could give him.”

Leslie Ehrlich of Pinyon Creek Ent. formatted Cathy’s drawing

for use on paper so we could have it on business cards, letterheads,

flyers, newsletter, etc. Leslie also donated her time digitizing it

so it can be embroidered on our shirts to publicize Firehouse Quilts. 

Check out her website www.pinyoncreek.com and see if she can help you 

with any of your projects.   She does beautiful work; logos for business, monograms & personalization, fabric baby gifts, afghans. 303-229-3620

Nice job and huge thanks to you both for creating this sweet little logo and

getting it into a format that we can use for FHQ.  Great Job!

We were proud to be able to use it for so many years.

Thank you, Cath!
