This quilt is an extension of my series that began with But, I Tried to Remember. Long before I began that series, I was approximately a sophomore in college, and I spent a lovely evening visiting my oldest friend Kat (now my assistant) (friends since jr high) and her mom Diane, and we had a lovely evening dying things! Among them was the blue and white ombre thread on the far right of this quilt. How satisfying it is for this crochet cotton to find a home! How lucky I am to’ve had a dear friend for well over 2 decades.

Make your own Framed Quilt with my On-Demand class:
The ‘Soft Bulk’ of a quilt is extraordinary! Quilts can squish into backpacks and unfurl into art galleries, but sometimes there’s a thrill in stretching them taught, just like a painting. This workshop will teach you to use a wooden frame and staples to display your quilt ‘stretched canvas style.’
Learn a variety of techniques like layering, patchwork, quilt-as-you-go, embroidery, and freeform applique, in a fun, quick-finish project that you can scale up as desired. This is one of my most popular classes and a great introduction to both quiltmaking and my teaching style.
These Framed Quilts and this class both make great gifts!
