Meditative vacation stitching. On a vintage linen, indigo dyed at the Nook Huddle.

My name tag for the Huddle quilt retreat, for which I was generously given a scholarship by a cohort friend @zakfoster.bsky.social #quiltynook #nookhuddle

I went to the #nookhuddle and took like three pictures and rarely checked my phone. It was an amazing, perhaps life changing experience. If nothing else, it was a needed respite. I made a fish quilt. I’ll take a picture of it soon. Here’s a pic of the Smokey Mountains from the house.

While at the #nookhuddle I made this fish quilt. It was a challenge quilt and all the fabric and other stuff besides the block prints, the upper right fish, and the green and purple background were not mine. Lots of the quilts had fish on them, they sort of became a theme.

This one is done. Vintage linen napkin, indigo dyed at the Nook Huddle, taken on vacation and embroidered with whatever I had in my bag of random thread and however I felt like embroidering.

As promised, the back of the fish quilt. Featuring an indigo dyed piece I did at the huddle, print experiments from figuring out what to do on the front of the quilt, and a pieced block by my friend Melissa.

Layers! Also vacation project. This is a vintage linen napkin that was started when I did some printing (and brayer cleaning) with my friend Ellen at the #nookhuddle. I started embroidering to interact with the printing on our first flight today.
