I’m a beginner quilter and I signed up for @loandbeholdstitchery ‘s Beginner Quilting Academy! Under Brittany’s guidance, I’m so excited to be working on a Celtic Cross quilt in my new collection, Through the Woods. I’m going with Pebbled Path for my background and the Butterfly Prisms for my backing fabric. I can’t wait to see the finished result and share it with you all…. I fear this is the beginner of a serious quilting addiction!

“She could charm the very bees.”

The magic of a beehive never ceases to enchant me. I love old fashioned style hives and have a bunch of bee motifs throughout my home. The bumblebee is my spirit animal, I think. Driven, loves flowers, hard-working…. And has a fluffy bottom. Lol…. 💛🐝✨ My husband even calls me “Bumble.”

I drew up this concept based on vintage artwork that I admire…. I would love to see this design on crisp white and blue enamelware! Or perhaps decorating an old-fashioned style metal bread box?

Have a honey of a week, y’all. 🐝

Flea market treasures found with my wonderful sis-in-law, Lizzie. The metal object is a four-sided cookie cutter! How cool is that, right?!

My flea market finds inspire my art, my color palette combos, font ideas and also serve as fantastic props for showing off upcoming fabric collections! Do you enjoy flea markets and thrift stores like I do?

What do you collect that inspires you? I’d love to hear about your favorite treasures!

We were tremendously lucky to get to spend time together with my niece and nephew this summer. As we are spending our first summer in our new home, I put together a scavenger hunt for the kiddos to get out and explore/enjoy our new land. There are so many treasures in nature to be found and the gang had a ball completing their mission. It makes me so happy to see them making memories together.

This pattern is called "Gathered," and it was inspired by our scavenger hunt adventures. I hope you enjoy it!

Don’t mind me…. Just playing with my Bella solids swatches and dreaming of all the different ways to say “autumn” in color.

Creating these individual swatch cards to mix and match bespoke color palettes had been so inspiring, friends.

Let me know which group you love best!

What's your very favorite fairy tale?

Mine was always Sleeping Beauty. I created this pattern featuring briar roses inspired by art from the Disney retelling. They are the kind of beautiful, thorny roses that the prince would have had to fight through to find his princess. Or perhaps they would be found gracing the cover of an antique hardcover fairy tale book with gold embossed pages?

I mocked the pattern up with a fun little tote... I think this would make a fun bag for a bookstore or any proper bibliophile.

Have a wonderful day, beautiful dreamers!
