Quilting

I'm addicted it quilts, thanks to this lady from Folk Fibers. I mean who knew you could make the most beautiful hand dyed fabrics using onion skins. (Love the roses).

There's a nostalgia behind quilting. The idea of neighborhood women sitting around a table busying their fingers with needles and thread, while their mouths busy themselves with gossip. Quilts often knit together stories, relics, heirlooms, and history. Can you think of anything else that weaves so many wonderful things together?

I have a pile of beautiful old sheets and fabric laying in a pile in my spare bedroom and I've done something both amazing and bad at the same time. I've convinced myself to make a quilt over Christmas (or at least start one). This will be my first and hopefully not my last. Wish me luck and look for updates!

In the meantime check out these beautiful pictures from Folk Fibers.

Love the hand stiched signature.
