friendship cabin (2025)
quilting cotton
based on a prompt from a friend: “a thing you love about your childhood self that you feel slightly distant from and maybe want to reconnect with”.
as a kid i used to love having people over and hosting movie nights with friends. things happened as i grew up, and i stopped wanting people in my house. to this day i’m still uncomfortable with having more than one person over at a time (my current record is 3 people). i don’t particularly miss hosting, but there’s a bit of melencholy thinking about how that changed. it’s okay, though-- i’d rather go to my friends’ houses to eat their food and fall asleep on their couches.
this is a log cabin block; i replaced the traditional center square (which represents the “hearth” of the home) with a friendship star. i fussycut the floral design to be the very center; i want there to be meaning in that, but maybe i just thought it was cute. machine quilted.
