SUMMER SPOOLS…there are some quilt blocks that nev

SUMMER SPOOLS…there are some quilt blocks that never go out of style, and the spool block is definitely one of them. It instantly makes me think of vintage quilts, cozy sewing rooms, and the simple joy of making something by hand.This is my take on a classic—a simple, charm pack-friendly pattern that’s fun to sew and easy to make your own. Now who’s ready to start digging through their favorite charm packs?!

I am spending as much time as possible in the gard

I am spending as much time as possible in the garden these days and when I’m sewing, I’m thinking of the garden, too!Have you guys joined us in the quilted garden of your dreams with the MY SECRET GARDEN BLOCK OF THE MONTH SAMPLER?You might want to check it out. It would be such a perfect project to start during these summer months…

It’s National Pick Blueberries Day! Did you know?

It’s National Pick Blueberries Day! Did you know?I have to admit... I didn’t even know this was a thing until recently.So, in honor of the day, I’m sharing a look at the BLUEBERRY PIE quilt from my FRUIT SALAD book!And of course, don’t forget the best part... plenty of delicious blueberries to enjoy, too! Not sure if you noticed in my stories a few weeks back, but each year we volunteer at a local u-pick blueberry farm and also pick to our hearts content at the end of the day.So…. let’s just say I might have a few too many blueberries around at the moment.Could you share your favorite blueberry recipe, fresh or frozen? Especially if you have something savory or in the “sauce” category. I am in serious need of some new ideas for sure!

I have a crush.Can I have a crush on something I designed myself? Just asking for a friend.But these Summer’s End ribbons with Renaissance Ribbons are just so so yummy!To say I want to adorn these ribbons on everything is an understatement. I am finding new ways to use them every day!Check them out in the Fig Tree RIBBON SHOP and tell me your favorite. For me? I think it might those little red tulips but the green flowers are getting me too!Some of our favorite ways to use ribbons are as drawstring for bags and as embellishments for pouches, project bags, pillows, key fobs...basically any project we can!You can also head to the Renaissance Ribbons website for additional ideas for uses, as well as informative ribbon care!

Time to go sailing!! The REGATTA quilt was origin

Time to go sailing!!The REGATTA quilt was originally created with my CATALINA fabric collection, which released in April of 2020. I couldn’t very well name the fabric collection after our favorite island off the coast of California and not design a sailboat quilt to go along with, right? It’s hard to believe that was 6 years ago already!I love pulling this summer-themed quilt out around this time - and as I did, I realized how great it would look in ROSIE!In case that intrigues you, I’ve decided on some replacement fabric recommendations using the ROSIE collection. Check out the next few slides, then head to the Fig Tree SHOP for the REGATTA quilt pattern, ROSIE jelly rolls, EYELET yardage, and backings to get a great head start!ROSIE Recolor - Fabric Recommendations:*Boat Sails & Waves: 1 ROSIE Jelly Roll*Boats: 1/4 yd. each BLUE GINGHAM (35427 29) and DENIM JEANS EYELET (20488 129)*Background & Borders: 3 yds. FORGET ME NOT EYELET (20488 126)*Accent Background: 3 yds. IVORY EYELET (20488 11)
