I’ll always remember sitting by the window, finishing the hand quilting on her pillow while the house was quiet. There’s a kind of magic in making something useful with your hands—a rhythm, a remembering. This pattern is simple but heartfelt, and I hope it becomes a soft, lasting presence wherever it ends up. Learn how to hand quilt and indigo dye on my blog.
