Over five years in the making, stitches from quilters around the world, and cataloguing joys and losses, my Kindred Crosses quilt is a gift.
All the Christmas Quilt is a medallion-style sampler quilt featuring hybrid construction of English paper piecing (EPP) and machine piecing.
Have you ever just needed a hug? I have. And, what better way to hug a quilter than by making them a quilt? This is that quilt’s story.
Do you ever feel like you need a minute? I hope this quilt offers you a kind pace that cultivates the joy and healing that creativity brings.
Every quilt has a story, and this quilt’s story began four years ago during the American football championship known as the Super Bowl.
Have you ever had a quilt practically tell you what it wants to be? I thought I had until this one practically spoke itself into existence.
Daisy Jane bloomed in the wake of what seemed a bitter pruning. But, I’m learning to lean into the cycle of growth in all of its forms.
As I reflect back on 2020, I can honestly say that I feel more fully present and whole than I have in a really long time. It proved a year full of surprises and changes, but it also became a year full of growth.
This quilt came to life as I mulled over this woman’s two cents in my heart. She didn’t compare herself to others or shrink back with insecurity.
While I’ve always chuckled at the idea of “Christmas in July,” it feels like a strange mash up from where I sit. I’m enjoying all the cozy “hygge” things like hot tea and sweater weather, but at the wrong time of year, at least in my experience.
