___________________________________________________
Inspired by the iconic quilts of Gee’s Bend, Bluestone Mitts play with a simple 3x3 ribbed block stitch that is peppered with a beaded motif. The beads reference the shot of color often worked into Gee’s Bend quilts.

Beads can be strung on in one color, randomly, or in sets of 3 in a rainbow… that is up to you!!!
