I believe in one premise – that all colors go together, without question or hesitation. Red and purple together in one project? Absolutely! It’s more about blending and contrast than it is about the color choice. Color can illicit feelings – red can make you feel strong and secure. Surrounding yourself with orange can stimulate creativity and joy. The color yellow empowers, while shades of blue inspires feelings of peace. Green can promote feelings of abundance, while purple can bring healing, freedom and enlightenment. Mixing and churning colors is one of life’s little pleasures.

With all that being said, barge ahead – choose colors that make you feel good! Select a quilted and embroidered yoga mat bag in fabrics that you want to see after you’ve finished your yoga class. Take your beautiful baby for a walk on a crisp Fall day beneath a warm and snuggly, jewel-toned flannel embroidered quilt – it will make you smile each time you look at it. Your baby will love your color choices! Although research differs on what colors a baby can see at what age, babies will focus on shapes and on color contrast from a very early age. Embroidered designs on your baby’s quilt will stimulate and captivate their attention.

My idea of a great product is one that is handcrafted, extremely durable and individualized to suit your personal needs. High quality, high touch products which stand the test of time are rare in this highly mechanized world. Joy for me comes in the creation of a one-of-a-kind quilted product – a cherished item that will stand the test of time. Quilting and embroidery are a symbiotic 1-2 punch, with color being the natural link between the two art forms.

A quilted and embroidered product ordered from Kim Hanson Quilts will be a sweet and special way to remember those life changing moments of joy and bliss.
