As a lot of the Quilting World has been watching with bated breath the social media posts from Quilt Market in Kansas City, I have been on the other side of the nation visiting family. It has been interesting to me that as of late I have been on a weeklong quilting fast and have dived head first into my cross stitch world. I know many of you are quilting purist...but, I am a Heinz 57 kind of stitcher. I truly love anything that requires me to hold a needle and thread.
I had the good fortune of seeing some of my creations when visiting my sister this week. She has been my longest quilting fan, and so it is fun for me to visit her home and see some of my creations hanging or lying around. One of the fun things about seeing these older works is I can see how far I have come in my stitching, LOL. And yet, admire the variety of challenges I stepped up to embrace. Needle turn appliqué, Sashiko, button hole appliqué...to name a few. I feel like I have just sampled the tip of the quilting ice berg and wonder what I will challenge myself with next!?
Is there anything in the stitching world that you have not tried but is on your list to give a go??? Let's make the second half of this year a stitching adventure!
