Looking for a handwork project this summer? Join In!
I am always needing a handwork project (or two) going, so this summer I am working on something from my Joyful Stitcher book. When I previewed the book on the blog, I got so many questions about my process, the wool, where to find it, the stitches, etc – that I decided to do a few blog posts sharing this information. During the process of sharing, I am going to be working on one of the quilts from the book. Feel free to stitch along, using any of the projects from the book. There are no rules and we have a relaxed schedule. (Scroll down for links to the posts)
You can preview the projects here, here and here. (In these posts, you will also find lots of detail shots so you can see exactly how I did the stitching on each shape). You can also find all the quilts in this post.
You can find the book here.
