Moonlit Village is a heartfelt quilt that captures the serene magic of returning home at dusk. The quilt showcases a winding path glowing under the moonlight, leading to a cluster of cozy houses nestled in rolling hills. Each fabric choice and quilt pattern reflects warmth, security, and the quiet rhythm of evening life.

This piece was inspired during a winter retreat in a small cabin, where the artist watched lights flicker on in distant cottages across the valley. It became a meditative DIY quilting project, stitched during slow evenings with cups of tea and soft music in the background.

Creating the curves of the hills and aligning the starry sky took careful planning and free motion quilting. The embroidered phrase, “homeward evening comes,” speaks to the longing for rest after a long day — a universal feeling for every quilter.
