Vintage fabric print from the 1970s showing a pinewood forest- “The Pinewood” by Ronald Hansen from the 1970s

I LOVE vintage fabric from the 1970s. Today I took out my “The Pinewood” print by Ronald Hansen-Denmark, 1970s. Hard to tell from the pic but it dark green and reaches floor to ceiling in my studio.

Hahah I like that idea Tina and I both used the same word 🧡

STUNNING !

LIKE FAMILY unlocked insights and memories for me that I could not have accessed any other way ✨ It maps the segregated geography of this family burial-ground and is my take on #mapquilts but there are so many ways

We’re always right on the cutting edge of history… who knows what’s next? But I like imagining a future when we look back at this time and are amazed at how we were able to sidestep collapse

Can do !

Love these colors !

In 1963, a White boss fired Jessie Telfair for registering to vote. She responded by creating her iconic Freedom quilt—a powerful critique that still resonates. One family knows this story intimately. Does the other?

Hahha my rule of thumb: if it’s cloth you can always find a way to make it work ! (I think that weave is lovely)

Not gonna lie, I love our sewing circles on the NOOK too! ⭕️ YOU JUST NEVER KNOW what’s gonna happen lol

I’ve always wanted to make one of these
