Alabama Stitch Book: Projects and Stories Celebrating Hand-Sewing, Quilting and Embroidery for Contemporary Sustainable Style
Primitive Elegance is what I think as I go through the book Alabama Stitch Book by Natalie Chanin, with Stacie Stukin, photograph by Robert Rausch. Here are the 4 things I like about this book, 1) Great story about how Natalie started this style, her business and how she tapped a community for talent. 2) Using traditional sewing methods in a very contemporary way. 3) Easy method! 4) Sustainable crafting.
Her work is beautiful and has given me ideas for many new projects. Her use of Cotton Jersey will release the hand stitcher in all of us.

I have started work on the white panels on the Snake in the Grass quilt.
Where is the Snake?
Monday, April 7th, 2008
Okay, Okay! I told you the name of the quilt and showed you some images of it, but I didn’t include the snake after which the quilt is named (Snake in the Grass, quilt). So, here it is. Now leave me alone. Not really. All your comments show you care. oxox
After I am done with the embroidery on the blue background fabric I will be appliqueing color shapes onto the white panels.
