Special Stitches...

... for a special little girl whose name begins with E.

Oh how I miss my childhood days of embroidered pillowcases, tea towels, and dresser scarves....

Trunk Show

I had the fun of doing a trunk show for my quilt guild today, so this stack of quilts went with me - 23 years worth of stitching!  I didn't think to have someone take pictures for me, so this photo will have to do.  :(

It was very low key, but meaningful for me.  Quilts are meant to be seen, and so often my quilts are folded up or tucked away, begging to be acknowledged.  I was so glad my guild was interested in viewing them with me. 

 I love my guild....  It's a wonderful mix of women at all levels of quilting skills.  It's a great place to learn, share, encourage, pass on some knowledge, be inspired, laugh and be fed - physically, emotionally and spiritually.

Instead of tucking these quilts back into their hiding spots all over the house, I'm going to work at photographing and documenting them on this blog.  Wish me luck!  :)

A Quilt for Ella Marie

I just received these lovely fabrics last night to stitch a simple patchwork quilt for Ella, a customer's little two-year old girl.  Ella is getting ready to move into her own "big girl" twin bed, so she needed the perfect quilt to match her vintage bed frame.  Ella's mom is a graphic artist; she did a great job selecting fabrics and colors.

But, this fabric takes the cake!

Here's a closeup - it's a graphic Ella's mom Jenna designed of Ella's "fwens"; 

she had it custom printed through Spoonflower.

This is going to be one lovely quilt...
