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.
I managed to create a flower using the coffins as petals. It looked just like a daisy. Its very existence declared beauty in spite of tragedy, joy in spite of sorrow. And, the Daisy Jane block was born.
This hand quilting tutorial series has been a long time coming. So without further ado, welcome to the Hand Quilting Headquarters, aka HQ HQ.
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.
These lessons are largely still in their fetal stage, but I’ve come to understand a few things more fully. I hope you do, too.
