AMERICAN RETRO. Think back to the simple days of bobby socks and dates at the soda fountain; pajama parties and dance marathons, circa 1945. America was migrating to the suburbs in numbers never before seen. Colors in this period became vibrant and full of life as America moved out of the depression with its eye on victory in the war in Europe. Taking its cue from delightful kitchen textiles to stylish apparel, American Retro combines fashion vogue from this bygone era into a collection for the modern quilter. Click here to order.

SUNBONNET SUE.
This fabulous bundle of 41 prints by Windham Fabrics, was inspired by a 1930s quilt pattern classic. Complete with cheater prints and adorable coordinates, Sunbonnet Sue is credited to Bertha Corbett Melcher who was challenged to portray expressions without a face in her drawings. The result was the iconic fun-loving child with her face hidden by a bonnet. Sunbonnet Sue has been a quilter's favorite ever since. Click here to order.

"FROM GRANDMA'S SCRAPBASKET" 
My grandmother was an avid reader and a self-taught historian. Over the years she collected an entire host of quotes, book passages, and inspirational snippets to share with friends and family. "From Grandma's Scrapbasket" is my opportunity to share these endearing tidbits with you each week in the hopes that you too will find them inspirational and thought provoking. Enjoy!
