Blog

In today’s blog post I want to share some background on the design, as well as some tips that may help with the making if you have purchased the pattern.

Despite the pandemic and the impact it has imposed on all of us and around the world, 2021 has also brought me happiness and joy, and some proud moments to celebrate.

I recently had an epiphany. It’s a curious thing when that happens, and afterwards you think how on earth did I not see that before. I took my first Free Motion Quilting (FMQ) class through my local guild in 2018, and I took a few other classes on ruler work since.

There was no nostalgia in leaving 2020 behind, and I have seldom been so eager to start a new year. I felt like I couldn’t get away from this year of disaster soon enough, and I know I wasn’t alone.

A little over three months since my last blog post. A lot has happened, some good and some bad. But I’ve been feeling stuck for a while. I didn’t get a lot done and I didn’t feel that creativity came easy.

I’m probably not the only one, but after the initial anxiety and period of adjustment, I’m slowly getting used to the isolation and staying at home somehow. I still miss in-person social interactions, spontaneous outings to New York City, and the freedom to just walk around carefree, on the street, in museums, and in shops.
