Celebrate Summer!

Hi Quilting Friends,

Here in the Northern hemisphere, it’s time to celebrate summer! We celebrate several patriotic holidays in the United States during the summer months, starting with Memorial Day at the end of May.

Memorial Day was established to honor the heroic military men and women who have died in the line of duty. Today is Flag Day, a day set aside to commemorate the adoption of the US flag on June 14, 1777. Next up is Independence Day, when we mark the approval of the Declaration of Independence by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776.

Hooray for the red, white, and blue! These summer celebrations may include parades, picnics, parties, concerts, fireworks, etc. Let the games begin!

Today we’re excited to release our new “Blue Ridge Mountain Star” table topper, made in patriotic red, white, and blue just for summertime holidays. Wouldn’t it make a beautiful start for your summer holiday decorations?

The table topper features a pieced block with appliqued stars on each side, finishing at 14″ x 26″. This pattern is suitable for an intermediate skill level quilter, since there are several seams in the star block that need to be matched carefully to preserve the design.

Here’s a closer look at the appliqued star panel, with fabrics that match the pieced block.

This design would make a fabulous set of place mats; just leave off one of the applique panels to make the right size. Need a longer piece for a table runner? Add another block or two and ta-da! We haven’t had time yet to play with it, but imagine this pattern made up with Christmas fabrics. (Wow!) The possibilities are limited only by your imagination.

Feeling inspired? The “Blue Ridge Mountain Star” table topper pattern is available to purchase right here!
