Quilting to the Sound of Brits
Once I’ve reached the hand-quilting stage of my quilts, I have a few favorite routines that help settle me into a quilting groove.
- I tend to keep the quilt I’m working on right next to my bed. On a weekend morning, I’ll often reach for the quilt & start sewing. (It’s a great way to start the day!) And of course, Tilly sits right on top of the quilt I’m working on.
- I love “watching” old British TV shows or Victorian rom-coms. Or HGTV or “Chopped” on Food Network. Of course, “watching” really means I’m listening and every now & then, I glance up for a few moments to say “Oh my gawd” when something dramatic is occurring. Some of my favorite shows to watch:
- Downton Abbey
- Call the Midwife
- All Creatures Great & Small
- Masterpiece Theater anything, but especially “Bleak House”
- When it’s a rainy/cold/slushy/snowy afternoon, I prefer listening music. Some of my favorite voices:
- Nina Simone
- Gillian Welch
- Joanna Newsom
- Bonnie Prince Billy
- Sandy Denny
- Antony & the Johnsons
- Neil Young
- Julianna Barwick
I love the first photo.
