“Crafts make us feel rooted, give us a sense of belonging and connect us with our history. Our ancestors used to create these crafts out of necessity, and now we do them for fun, to make money and to express ourselves.”-Phyllis George⁠
.⁠
This is so true about Heirloom quilting, or trapunto as it's more commonly called.⁠
My next task on this beautiful needlecraft journey with @school_of_stitch⁠
.⁠
This task made me reflect once again about the origin of the various beautiful forms of needlecraft. About the high level of creativity of the women of yesteryears, who created because they had the passion ( no internet, no YouTube and no craft classes). And the techniques they used are so labour intensive and so timeless.⁠
.⁠
My design inspiration for this one comes from Sylvia Critcher's book called Raised Quilt and Stitch.⁠

In our latest interview with with Catherine Redfor

In our latest interview with with Catherine Redford, she talks to us about how she uses hand embroidery and wool applique to embellish her quilts. ⁠
⁠
As well as providing online classes Catherine inspires individuality with her book 'Butterfly Stitches' 🦋. The book includes applique and embroidery designs for nature lovers, which can be customised and added to your next sampler quilt, pillow, or small project. ⁠
