The sewing room is the coldest room in the house. Nobody knows why. It is over the garage, or it faces north, or the vent was closed in 2019 and never reopened. Either way, from October on, you sew in a hoodie, and the hoodie should be worth looking at.
The Sweatshirts collection is hoodies with a front that means something, warm enough for the room over the garage. Most of it is the national parks in vintage line art: Yellowstone with its grizzly, Acadia with its fox, Badlands, Arches, Grand Canyon, Great Smoky Mountains, Katmai, Zion, Sequoia, Bryce Canyon, Crater Lake, Grand Teton, Big Bend, Capitol Reef and more, each with a stitching line under the name.
Then there is the state series, Stitchin in Beauty, for the quilter whose home state is the view: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, California and on down the map. Your state, drawn the way the parks are, on the layer you wear most.
One of them just says Quilter. Some days that is the whole message.
Pocket for the seam ripper. Hood for the draft. A park or a state on the front for the six months the sewing room runs cold.
