BACK TO TRADITION

Creating affordable art for sale generally requires a different construction approach.  That doesn't mean a reduction of quality, rather that stitching is mostly by machine instead of the much more time consuming hand work I've enjoyed since I began quilt making back in the early 80's.

My stealth project features hand applique....a labor of love.

I love hand work and even if it's not really cost effective for your sales at the gallery. And whoever purchases your hand work items are getting a bargain regardless!

Is that needle really bent? I know I have a few treasured bent needles, the bend actually an asset.

Eagle eyed as always Sheila....yup, the needle has a comforting bend to it.....hate to think of breaking a new one in when it gets too dull to use!
