Machine and hand pieced, hand embroidered, and hand quilted

2021

62 x 58”

This quilt was made using my third quilt pattern, the Vignettes Quilt Pattern. This is my first variation of the quilt pattern, and I filmed myself sewing and thinking through the quilt for a workshop for QuiltCon with the Modern Quilt Guild. The pattern emphasizes art vocabulary and a vignettes approach to piecing a quilt made with blocks of varying dimensions and sizes.
