Traditional hand quilting and bright colors make a great combination!
My mother taught me to sew when I was seven, and I remember stories about my great-grandmother piecing quilt tops entirely by hand. I’ve been quilting off and on for most of my adult life, still using a sewing machine that belonged to my grandmother.
I usually sew the pieces for a quilt’s top by machine, but my favorite part is doing the hand quilting that holds the layers together. Most of what I do starts with a traditional pattern, and I enjoy working with bright, clear colors.
My husband and I live on 90+ acres on the side of Powell Mountain in southwest Virginia. These days, my studio windows look out on the mountains and even a dreary day has its beauty. Life is good! |
