I made this a few years ago and it always makes me smile when I pull it out this time of year. It is all hand pieced and hand quilted. It was fun to make and I realize how much pleasure I get from looking at all those careful and not so careful stitches. I think in this fast paced world we cannot forget the pleasures of slow both during a project and after.
When a quilt is finished by machine there is a great sense of accomplishment that goes with the finish and after, at a job well done but I challenge you all to try the slower pace of the hand made for a deeper sense of how our foremothers operated and as a testament to what we can accomplish with our own two hands.
