How does it sound? Inspiring?
It is the name of the challenge I participated in. It is one of the Quiltsy Team’s. Quiltsy is the team of quilters on etsy. A lovely place to be in. The challenge asked us to make something showing our perception of Nature of Quilting.
Mine is in the Quiltsy shop. Hopefully it will be bought and the money will help the team grow and promote quilting. This challenge made me think, gave me an opportunity to create and I had to explain what and why I made…
So here is what I wrote and I must confess it is the shortest description of quilting I have written so far. 
:
This is my entry to the wonderful Quiltsy team challenge The Nature of Quilting and it represents my perception of quilting.
It is the sharing, making, using fabric, giving it life, mixing together what your eyes like, or what your hands have. It is individual and very special. It is carefully selected, or impulsively improvised. Its versatile and inspiring.
This one is improvisational. It is made with what I liked in a pile of fabric remnants from other projects and thus it carries the true patchwork and quilt spirit of the old times sustainable use of every little piece of precious fabric, combined with the aesthetics of makers.
The potholder is intentionally imperfect as patchwork and quilting allows you great diversity in both styles and precision. While perfectly matched corners and fabrics may make you stop breathing for a moment, a wonky imperfect quilt may make you feel the handmade nature and maker’s energy even better.
You can buy it in the Quiltsy Team shop here.
