A Simple Little Thing ~

Here is the little quilt that I've been working on ~
such a sweet, simple little thing...

wonky little squares in my favorite folky colors ~

I am not a quilter...and I surely don't pretend to be one,

...but I love to stitch together tiny scraps of fabric into small quilts.

 

 



my little red doll bed under the tree in our Keeping Room...

you can see clearly that my corners don't line up, and what should be 'square' really isn't.

but, isn't that what draws us to those perfectly IMperfect doll quilts of long ago?

...made by a mothers' hands for her daughter
or most likely
made by little hands just learning to stitch?




somewhat mitered corners, but no, not really...

 with every stitch I find myself carried back to a time when I first learned to sew~
all thumbs but with great expectations.

how connected we are to our past generations when we put needle-to-fabric...

 

string quilted and hand quilted together

Lynda from Primitive Pieces by Lynda sent me an email and this quote was at the very bottom:
"QUILTING should be fun.
Being overly critical of what you make spoils that concept somehow
don't you think?" 'nuff said!!
