💜 A little Stewart Handmade update
It’s been a summer we never could have planned for.
Stewart Handmade has been quietly paused while our family navigates a life-changing season. Our son, Aaron, suffered a spinal cord injury in a serious car accident, and for the past several months our time and energy have been focused on being there for him and helping him through his recovery. We had planned on a full year of spring and fall markets, but those plans have had to change. As much as we love creating and sharing these little pieces of vintage quilt history with you, right now our place is with the family.
We don’t know exactly what the future of Stewart Handmade will look like. Maybe someday we’ll be back to the markets, sewing away for weeks at a time and filling the booth with bags and treasures. But for now, we may pop up here with a small drop or two when time and life allows 🧵
What we do know is that this is not the end of Stewart Handmade. It’s just a detour. ❤️
We’re incredibly grateful for all of you who have supported our little business, bought a bag, followed along, shared my work, sent kind messages, or simply cheered us on. Your support means more than you know.
For now, we’re choosing to be present for what matters most, while holding onto the hope that there will be plenty more quilts, sewing, markets, and handmade adventures down the road.
Thank you for being here. ❤️
Jodie and Craig
