Patterns, patchworks and projects
Remona of The Stitching Scientist thinks summer quilting projects should be quick and easy to leave plenty of time for outdoor activities. I agree. With that in mind, she made this fun quilt out of a Jelly Roll (precut fabrics) and Charm Pack from the Little Apples fabric collection by Aneela Hoey. See her instructions for how to make your own Summer Picnic Quilt.

In her tutorial, Deb Gehringer ingeniously repurposes leftover fabric scraps into stunning quilted star ornaments, showcasing her resourcefulness and creative flair. Drawing from the vibrant remnants of her previous projects like the Five Squared Quilt and the golden hues of the Four Patch Charm quilt, Deb breathes new life into these materials.
Her inspiration stems from nostalgic memories of crafting a Christmas tree skirt for her son years ago, igniting a desire to continue the tradition of handmade holiday decor. To bring her vision to life, Deb selects a curated collection of metallic fabrics from renowned brands such as Marcus Brothers, RJR, and Andover Fabrics, infusing her ornaments with festive elegance and charm.
This free tutorial not only demonstrates Deb’s ingenuity in repurposing materials but also celebrates the joy of handmade holiday decorations, adding a personalized touch to festive celebrations.

Good Evening Scarlett! Not to sure I like the new layout for the Craft Gossip Newsletter, they do not put out as many subjects and they also do not let us know where the information is coming from. I did check out this neat quilt and really like the length and the scrappiness of it; making it a perfect picnic quilt. So thank you for bringing it to our attention. I will surely be making this when I can! Have a fantastic creative day!
Hi Brenda. I was not aware the layout changed. I’ll be sure and take a look. I’m glad you liked the Summer Picnic Quilt.
Happy Stitching!
Scarlett
