This series is designed as a steady thread across the turning of the year. We’ll begin in November and December, as the year winds down, and continue into January, as the new one opens. Close the year by beginning something steady. Open the new year by finishing with connection.
Each session focuses on a single design element — contrast, rhythm, balance, connection — explored through small quilt blocks. We will be working only by hand. No sewing machines, no background noise — just needle, thread, fabric, and the quiet rhythm of stitching.
Working at a 10–15 cm scale makes the process simple, approachable, and grounding. By the end of the series, you’ll have four quilt blocks that can be joined into a small hanging or kept as individual studies of your own rhythm and presence.
This is not about speed or technical mastery. It’s about slowing down, enjoying the repetition of handwork, and finding steadiness as one block grows into the next.
Cotton fabric scraps in colors you enjoy
Embroidery floss or sewing thread
Needles (embroidery or sharp hand-sewing needle)
Scissors (small and sharp if possible)
Optional: small ruler or rotary cutter if you already use them
No kits required. Please use what you already have. The process is forgiving and adaptable.
Anyone who wants to mark the turn of the year with a mindful, creative rhythm. No quilting experience is needed — just a willingness to sit with cloth, thread, and the quiet pace of hand sewing.
