Here's the conundrum for a long weekend... sewing is relaxing and that's what weekends are for, right? But it's a loooong weekend, so that means there is time for fun and relaxing! But sewing is fun... right?
Hurrah by Laurie Simpson of Minick & Simpson. Okay, not quick. But Red, White-Cream and Blue. Scrappy Minick & Simpson collections.
These are quick. Ish. They are the Sweet Liberty Tuffets from a pattern I had many years ago, a pattern that is now out-of-print. (All seven of the pincushions in the pattern were made with a single Minick & Simpson Charm Pack.)
But to celebrate Independence Day - Sweet Liberty Tuffets Schnibbles Pattern.
Last year, I also shared two Patriotic Pillow patterns. The first one is made with fabrics from Fig Tree & Co.‘s Coney Island collection – with one or two additions because I wanted all the stripes to be different. But any reds, blues and white-ivory will work! This pillow measures 12″ x 24″ finished and it’s titled Stripes & One Star – Stripes & One Star Instructions.
(You’ll forgive the hand-drawn diagrams, right?)
Download the pattern here - Stripes & One Star.
The second pillow is Stripes & Stars was made with Bonnie & Camille's The Good Life, Basics and a stripe from Vintage Picnic. The background is one of my favorites - it’s from Miss Scarlet by Minick & Simpson. The pillow measures 20" x 20" finished.

If you'd like to know a little bit about how I make my pillows, including quilting, backing and putting in a zipper, you can read about that here.
I hope you're getting a long weekend - this weekend or next. We had the option of choosing which one so I'll be relaxing, having some fun and hopefully sewing this weekend.
Happy Friday and Happy July 4th!
