Making gifts may actually sustain me for life.
Behold:
*A Russian nesting doll portrait of my sister.
*A stitch sampler for my mom.
*A Pueblo spiritual balance bird for my love.
Autumnal project: Grandma's Flower Garden quilt
The technique for this hex quilt is called English paper piecing. The fabric is cut into hexagons, wrapped around paper hexagons and secured with basting stitches (red). After all of the hexes are sewn together, the red stitches are removed along with the paper.
Stay tuned! This will take me about a year to finish!!
