I mean to say that I don't use a pattern or template.
The start of the quilting
Somewhere along the way I played with some random stitches using silk thread
The end of the quilting
All this color was used just because thread comes in so many colors
My grandmother told me that a quilter's stitch was unique to the individual as is a signature. That perspective frees me to be expressive and satisfied by the process. I appreciate the organic, random and imperfect. I once read that the occasional large stitch was a "toe hooker". Utility quilts used on beds were probably not a venue for fussiness, but a toe getting caught in a stitch? Quilters have to have their humor too!
