Summer In the Midst of Winter



“In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.
And that makes me happy. 
For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, 
within me, there’s something stronger – something better, 
pushing right back.”


This has been a favorite quote
since I was in college. 

It is bitterly cold in the northeast
and a major ice and snow storm is coming this weekend.

I am safe and warm and snug and counting my blessings.
and enjoying the fabric 
in my quilty home.

The fabric flowing through my fingers
takes me to different places and other seasons
and fills my world with color and with joy. 


Today this new summery fabric is on my way to me!

I pre-ordered the collection bundle from 

Julie @ The Intrepid Thread

where I first discovered Tilda and now buy most of my Tilda Fabrics.

Julie is a joy to do business with.
I am not affiliated in any way with this shop.

I am just a very happy customer.




Browse

I am making plans to sew this 



and

has just started to appear in stock today.

I want to sew one of these cute 



and some



Maybe a few



and this 



is sew cute!

Okay ... yes ...  I want to sew it all.

Of course, I cannot buy it all. 

The "Scrapflower Quilt" had me at the name!

When I was browsing the pretty patterns
my hubby walked over and pointed right at the same blue
quilt I was plotting to make.
This blue is his favorite color. 
I said I found the background fabric,
but it was expensive.
Hubby said get it now while you can.
My hubby is fabric enabler.
I want to make a warm summery quilt 
for hubby and I to snuggle under
in the midst of winter. 

I am lucky to have some other
Tilda Fabrics in my stash.
Any of these patterns would also be adorable in 30's fabrics
or any pretty floral.


Which is your favorite free pattern for this collection? 

Will you be sewing summer in winter?
