Summer 2019

8/19/2019

I finished my quilt this summer as the heat topped 100 degrees in Indiana. I finished parts of this quilt on a treadle sewing machine (no electricity) at my Amish teacher's house, and some parts I painted with fabric paint. I was inspired by classic Amish symbols (fruit pie, ice skates, laundry drying on the clothing line, jam jars, etc), Icelandic sweaters, Japanese shibori and my experiences (and some fabrics) from Scandinavia. With thanks to the patience and expertise of my teacher, Saloma, who helped all along the way!

Summer is all about trying out new things, or at least that is how I see it. Personally, I think that Summer is the only time when I can actually let loose a little bit. There are lots of things that I have to do, and Summer just allows me to do all of them. I hope that I can keep doing this for the next Summers to come. I do not want to grow old, I want to be like this forever.
