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.”

― Albert Camus

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.

I am making plans to sew this 

Apple Butter Scrapflower Quilt

and

Apple Butter Scrapflower Pillow

I found the 

Cornflower Blue Background Fabric

(affiliate link)

at my favorite place to shop

Fat Quarter Shop 

(affiliate link)

Where the 

Apple Butter Collection

(affiliate link) 

has just started to appear in stock today.

I want to sew one of these cute 

Dapper Dacshhunds

and some

Easter Bunnies

Maybe a few

Kitchy Friends

and this 

Apple Butter Teapot Quilt

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?
