On Monday, I used a pass I got from the Kimball Public Library’s Library of Things and took myself down to Billings Farm and Museum in Woodstock, VT. One of my favorite public spaces in Vermont, I went especially to see their annual quilt exhibit. There was a full range of styles, and skill levels which I deeply appreciated. It’s fun to see where beginners start out and where years of experience can take a quilter. Here are a few of my faves. I’ll let the quilts and the maker comments speak for themselves.
I hope this collection of photos and maker’s words has brought you a bit of gathered light. Beauty, crafted by hand, is a refreshing form of resistance to all things depressing.
I finished up my quick coasters. I sent two capes off to Detroit yesterday. One made with fabric we tie dyed out the yard with Tilly and Flora, one made with fabric pulled from my stash. I hope to get some photos of the capes in action. I’ll share them when I do.
September is just around the corner and she’ll bring my favorite season with her. This will be a quiet weekend for me and I plan to make space for recalibrating my days to match some changes I’ve been wanting to make. I love a sheet of craft paper and a sharpie for brain dumping, brain mapping and brainstorming!
Dearest readers, may you find a bit of peace in your corner of the world. May you find rest and beauty and calm. And may you shine your own light in the world.
