Homeward by Natalie Barnes

“It’s that feeling you have when you’re on the last bit of road, as you make your way home. ...grandma’s iris bulbs blooming at the front door, daddy’s rods and reels on the wall in the den, plus that good old dog and the kids, standing on the porch, waiting to greet you.

It’s that memory of a Summer Dress or the Front Gate.

It’s the pressed Corsage in the family book, the Family Tree, and the Hearth in the home.

It’s making your way homeward.

Tradition. Spirit. Home.

I hope you’ll find your “true north”, your way back home, in this collection of prints.

Thank you, Windham Fabrics, and all of the Makers, for their help along the way.”

The Story “I am a firm believer that “we all get there together” Each one of these makers has at one time or another been an inspiration.... ...helped me along the way.

So, I asked this group of professionals to make a 30" x 30" quilt from Homeward to show you their own unique style.

They each have created a project (and pattern) using such different techniques.

Just like there are many different ways to define “home”, each one of us as Makers bring our own unique voice to every project we accomplish.

I am thankful for every step we take together.”

Because of our strong sense of community, again, this year, every one of these Makers has agreed to auction their quilt to benefit a charity of their own choosing.

Please pick up a catalog with information on how you might bid on one of these beautiful quilts.

You could be the recipient of a lovely piece of art, and someone else could be the recipient of your gift of giving.

Because, after all, “we all get there together”.
