Working Blues, by Danielle Stanfill (@thequiltedhand)
“This quilt is made from denim and drop cloth, materials long associated with blue collar work and the endurance of daily work. By incorporating two hand quilting techniques, sashiko-inspired stitching and couching, it draws on our traditions of repair and resilience. The quilt reflects both the physical demands and dignity of labor, transforming humble, utilitarian textiles into a space for reflection on the value of work.”
