"Stars Over Appalachia" - Patchwork Collection PREORDER: 6-8 Week Turnaround
All colorways in the Patchwork Collection are for *PREORDER* and will ship in 6-8 weeks, or by mid/late October
This colorway is based off a submission from Jackie of @woolenoaks. Here is the description that she included:
“This is the quilt my aunt made for my wedding. This is the fourth quilt I've received from her which is a huge honor because most family members only have 1-2. She also describes this as one of the best quilts she's ever made. Even though it didn't win at the fair that year (seriously!)
The quilt is a mountain scene in the Appalachians/Blue ridge representing where I got married. You can see the mountains with a unique fabric and stitch style per hill. The river at the bottom with the trees.
You can see the satellite patch in it's correct location for where it passes by our wedding location in the sky every 90 minutes.
She used embroidery thread that belonged to my aunt/her sister who passed away and people say we were a lot a like to stitch Drew and mine's horoscope signs.
There is also a shooting star patch that I couldn't get in a photo but she also checked and there was one that night.
Finally, the moon patch it it's correct location and the phase written on it.
She was a meteorologist in her career. But anyway, I love this quilt so much. It feels like such a gift.“

All skeins are individually dyed with acid dye, washed and rinsed, however some bleeding may still occur. Each skein is unique and therefore colors may vary slightly from one to the next. Due to monitor differences, actual colors may also vary from what is shown. I recommend handwashing in cool water.
