Story: The Brown Eggs and Ham came about from the idea that fabric is her paint and hand stitching is her paint brush. She is inspired by the medium of paint on canvas. Each piece was hand cut freely with the exception of the circles (She used a bowl). Each piece is hand stitched onto the background fabric with a running stitch, and she is extremely partial to leaving the edges raw, She loves the slightly unfinished look of it. She decided to use the grid pattern because it is her favorite pattern to quilt. She is always inspired by bright colors and bold prints, especially polka dots. This large format quilt is by far one of her favorite finishes. It took a total of 6 months to complete!
