Description
I inherited my love of old furniture from my grandparents. They taught me all about how furniture was crafted: to look for mortise and tenon joints, to watch for knots, and to respect the grain of the wood. They tried to teach me the different styles of furniture, too. I’m not sure I remember them all! But I did learn about seat bottoms, and I can tell the difference between cane and rush. Rush bottoms are large fibers woven in figure eights around the frame, and they’re much sturdier than cane. This pattern reminded me of that weave. Rushes also made rushlights, the simple candles that lit those old homes.
Rushlight weaves wide flying geese into a pattern that flickers like firelight. Golden citrine and rich mahogany glow against the deep spice and bayou batiks of Hoffman’s Fireside Embers collection.
Finished Size: 61” x 61”
Skill Level: Intermediate
Introduction: WIDE flying geese make this moving quilt, which moves like firelight.
