In Utah where I live, each city throws their own summer festival complete with fireworks and parades, each a different weekend. From my front porch I can see the firework shows of the surrounding five or six cities and so it sometimes seems like I’m getting my own personal display each weekend🥰

Are you a bundle hoarder? Is it hard for you to un Are you a bundle hoarder? Is it hard for you to untie that ribbon? I’ll admit it, I always hold my breath a little and wonder if I’ll regret cutting into my bundles…but I never ever do. Working with those pretty fabrics is so much fun and seeing the prints in an actual quilt is so much better than just on the shelf ❤️🤍💙

There’s a classic movie that we watched as kids that has a scene I will never forget. Children are running and playing, weaving through potluck tables set up in a cul-de-sac while the dads grill burgers and the moms fuss with the table settings and chat with each other. Overhead, fireworks are going off in the sky and the teen boys are throwing a baseball. That nostalgia for fireworks and summer nights inspired Star Spangled, my latest Red, White and Blue collection. With lots of love for my country and flag, and the perfect retro prints and florals to evoke some treasured memories, this collection is sure to find its’ way into every corner of my home during the summer months. I hope it inspires many quilts and projects for you, too!
