Making embroidered quilt label progress this week. This is the label for my #themissesbarronquilt #wholeclothquilt #handquilting #northcountryquilt

The lack of school runs, after school pick ups, teenage taxi runs, and complicated all-hours dinner conjuring in a busy house of three kids is leaving me with a whole new previously unexplored part of the day. We’re working a long morning as a school day, after lunch it’s PE (table tennis, trampolining, dog walk) and creative afternoons and then free technology time at 4pm til tea. I’m revelling in these new untrammelled indulgences of late afternoon time and getting some day-lit hand quilting miles in on this, my #bergenquilt #rosemalingquilt #norwayquilt . I’m enjoying letting the mind wander free around the globe in stitch while we’re all housebound. I’ve been reading the diary of a 1790s stitcher transcribed in academic work I’m studying who describes this same phenomenon, hands busy in stitch but mind calmed when life’s preoccupations get too present. There’s a timelessness about human suffering, each generation has its own unprecedented events, there is some small comfort in long historical context. Stay safe and stay home everyone. This too will pass and there’s real solace in stitch. ❤️ #stayhome #keepcalmandsew #handquilting #linenquilt #scandiquilt #quilt #applique #rosemaling #sewcialdistancing

It’s another beautiful day to stay home and sew. #smallpleasuresoflife #stayhome #sewcialdistancing #imintheguild #homeschooling #keepcalmandsew
