Mixed textiles and cotton thread

Hand pieced, hand appliquéd, hand embroidered, and hand quilted

2019

40 x 40”

This is my first-ever quilt pattern, originally published in QuiltCon Magazine February 2020. I designed most of the pattern while traveling in India, and I quickly pieced it for the magazine before heading to Boulder, CO where I taught with The Makerie and quilted this quilt. Many people have made their version of this quilt and shared it on Instagram with #scavengerhuntquilt. I love the prompts that look at chronological fabrics, tracing your body, noting your birthday, and especially manifesting your desires. I made my manifestation section of me holding hands with someone, and within a month, I met someone special!
