I designed the Peace quilt to keep my hands busy during stressful times, it's hard to
think about the negative stuff while focusing on stitching. lol.
At first we'll be ripping and cutting our scraps while exploring color, contrasts, textures and shapes. Then we'll choose our first scrap, the one that catches your eye, satisfies your fingers and maybe pulls on your heartstrings - I'll be doing demos on some of my parent's clothing, may they rest in peace.
After choosing the next scrap the sewing begins, this is where I will begin to teach you my instinctual method of stitching. We'll add a few layers with smaller pieces of fabric, buttons and baubles, then we'll add more #instinctualstitching for further embellishment and discuss using thread as a mark making device and glue. I'll also share the story behind why I stitch in this manner and my main source of inspiration.
