This I accomplish

Some of my work during this year.

During the coming days I'll be reading This I Accomplish: Harriet Powers' Bible Quilt and Other Pieces by Kyra E. Hicks. A former Georgia slave, Harriet Powers' figure and quilts are just the inspiration I need for the new year.

Cornflower Blue + Sand

Cornflower Blue + Sand pillow photographed over the endpapers of an old embroidery book. I love the marketing in it – «Sort out your future or your finances studying with the methods from Marti de Gili» and «Modern procedures in cut, sewing and haute couture.» Encouraging.

Find this pillow here.

Quinchamali pottery

I've always loved the carved and painted motifs of this traditional Chilean pottery. The clay is darkened with smoke. Each potter (locera) has her own unique patterns.
