About the Collection: Color Pop Playground
In 2024, I kicked off a 100-day creative challenge, filling my sketchbook with daily drawings just for the fun of it. No big plans, no pressure- just playful exploration. With four busy boys at home, it was a chance to reconnect with creativity for creativity’s sake.
The name Color Pop Playground comes from two things: the pops of color that filled each page and the sense of freedom my sketchbook gave me- like a creative playground where anything was possible. There were no rules- just one simple prompt: draw what inspired me that day. That freedom led to a collection that’s eclectic, playful, and deeply personal. Every piece carries a little spark from my everyday life and reminds me what happens when we make time to play.
Themes & Inspiration
This collection is bursting with joyful color and inspired by the things I love most:
– Hand-stitched motifs
– English Paper Piecing projects
– Cheerful florals
– Little everyday moments from life at home
It’s a mix of what was on my mind, on my sewing table, and in my heart during those 100 days.
A Few Personal Favorites
Hexie Garden
Inspired by the scrappy Hexie Garden quilt I’ve been working on. Hexagons really are the bestagons!
Berry Sweet
A playful nod to the pineberries my boys were obsessed with last winter- they couldn’t get enough!
Shelved
Stacks of books always seem to appear in our house- on shelves, in corners, or clutched in little hands. This pattern is a tribute to the organized chaos of a home filled with readers.
