Playing with fabric first began for me when I was 6 and given my first needle & spool of thread. 🙏🥰🪡🧵
My love for stitching fabric into a quilt began when I was 13 - this is my first quilt top, which I made my hand.

When did it begin for you?

Here’s my tea dying results:
I 🧡 that darker orange! 👏
The ecru is lovely. 😊
The one on the right was soaked an extra 10 minutes, but not any darker.
I don’t like how the blue turned out, but the bright pink turned into a lovely rose. 🩷
