HANDIWORK TOUR - QUILT⁠
The fabric Quilt from the Handiwork line has a different feel than many of my fabrics. The design is an interpretation of layered vintage hand quilting templates which have always been so interesting to me. Quilters would draw out the design on materials that they had on hand, such as cereal boxes, cardboard bits, or tin, to create a reusable template. I love the simplicity of not needing all of the specialty stuff that we enjoy today. The design is a nod to the act of quilting in all of the ways it is accomplished.⁠

HANDIWORK TOUR - SEW⁠
Sew is the fifth fabric in our Handiwork tour this weekend. The line is just arriving to shops, so it’s a good time to get a bundle and/or some yardage of your favorite prints. The design is a sweet and subtle nod to all things sewing with tiny scissors, thimbles, bobbins, safety pins, and flowers are scattered across the fabric. All three colors are pretty, and the white colorway makes a particularly nice and subtle background. ⁠

HANDIWORK TOUR - CROSS STITCH⁠
Next in our Handiwork fabric tour is Cross Stitch. This one is a nice, simple blender representing the art of cross stitch. Both Holiday and Sun Print 2020 have intricate cross stitch themed designs, so I wanted to keep this one simple. I sort of wish it was in many more colors. Any colors you would wish for?⁠

HANDIWORK TOUR - BEAD WORK⁠
My Handiwork fabric line is in shops now so I am doing a little up close look and explanation of each of the eight prints. The third print is Bead Work, one of the two prints in the line that holds a lot of personal meaning to me. When I was little, seven or eight probably, I remember my mom finding a beautiful and very old beaded bag at an antique store. It was coming off its metal frame and the silk lining on the inside was mostly worn away. Even though it needed repair, my mom saw something special so she set off to use her skills to fix it. She remade the inside, attached it back to the frame, and carefully sewed the beads back in place following their original design. I remember thinking how much skill and patience it took to do that work, and I have always loved that little bag. It lives with me now, and while it is lovely on its own, the memory of my mother’s work poured into it means even more. ⁠

HANDIWORK TOUR - PATCHWORK
Up next in our Handiwork fabric tour is Patchwork. Earlier this year I had the opportunity to contribute a pattern to Mod Block Magazine by @missouristarquiltco. Scroll back in my IG feed for more on that, but this print is basically that quilt design on a tiny scale! I love the quilt that we made for the magazine and the story of how it came together, so I thought it would make a fun design representing patchwork quilting and paying tribute to one of the most well-known and well-loved (by me especially) block designs, the Log Cabin. I love all three colorways and can’t decide on a favorite.
