Environmental Thrift. I’m sharing my 2020 project #wastenotwantnotquilt today for #earthday. I wrote a column last year for #thequiltermagazine for @thequiltersguild about balancing environmental economy with creativity. I advocate thinking about it as quilters of the past often did, as a practice of thrift in the most positive sense.

I’m just posting reminiscence pictures of my #lilliesleafquilt in the beautiful borderland last week as escapism now that I’m sat back at my desk and trying to apply myself to a new term writing. I’ve still got sand in my shoes and holiday breeze in my hair and it all keeps calling me back. #academicprocrastination #quiltsinthewild #wholeclothquilt #handquilting #handquilted #modernhistoryquilt #scottishborders #northumberland #cheviothills #holidaysforever #staycationuk #2021holidays

Modernity. I’m a sucker for a vintage sewing book and this 1920s beauty had me at the pretty embossed cover 💙 Written in the most hopeful decade after the ravages of the last pandemic and World War I, it is full of self confident proclamations about the fresh new modernity of its anticipated readers and their desire to shrug off the dusty past.
