Have you ever found yourself longing for your childhood home? Unfortunately, unlike Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz, we’re not able to click our heels 3 times and teleport back. But we can do the next best thing – quilt! With every stitch, you’ll be inspired by feelings of nostalgia and memories of home.
An excerpt from “Hoop Quilts For Beginners” by AnnMarie Chany – “In the hallway of my parents’ house, the home I grew up in, hangs a slate plaque. The plaque has a tole painting of their house, customized with their last name and the year my parents were married. My mom had the plaque painted while I was a child, and it still hangs in the same spot today. That plaque was the inspiration for this hoop. I wanted something similar to hang up in my own home, and this hoop provides the opportunity to document the year my husband and I started our own family.”
