I LOVE this line! Look at all these luscious tropical colors! I could play with them all day. One of the best features of this collection is the way range of size in the prints. From the tiny sprays of flowers to the large stylized blossoms, everything is here.

I love how well these fabrics lend themselves to some of my newer patterns. Let's take a look!

Spooling is a pattern I released this spring and I immediately thought about how much it would lend itself well to showcasing Summer Twilight's possibilities.

The pinks and magentas are so lovely with the cool, calming blues and greens here. I would love this as a baby quilt for a new family member or a lap quilt for a friend.

Here I chose to use the Sprinkles background fabric from Island Batik and it's so perfect for this line.

This project is traditionally pieced and can be easily executed in a long weekend.

I also really wanted to have an excuse to use the gorgeous dark fabric with the big floral element in a manner that would allow you to see as much of the design as possible.

I tested it out as the border of my Rogue Cabins design and it was perfect. The powerful colors here with the deep dark is exactly what I was hoping for.

Rogue Cabins is a traditionally pieced project using log cabin concepts as well as a variation on Half Square Triangle units.

The precuts for Summer Twilight are delightful. These beautiful colors make me eager to find strip piecing projects that would give me reason to pick up a package of these babies.

Tammy Silvers of Tamarinis has absolutely made my day with this lovely line. If you love them as much as I do, don't miss out!

Happy stitching, my friends!

With the help of jharsewa, government services in Jharkhand have become much more accessible. The portal allows people to apply for a wide range of certificates online, track applications, and even download approved documents. It reduces the dependency on physical visits to offices and saves valuable time. By making services available digitally, the government is ensuring transparency, efficiency, and accountability. It’s a citizen-friendly initiative that has simplified the entire process of availing government benefits.

Through the Rajiv Yuva Vikasam Scheme, thousands of young people are finding new hope for their careers. The program emphasizes skill training, entrepreneurship, and creating self-employment opportunities. It is one of the most important steps taken by the government to address youth unemployment. Many beneficiaries have shared success stories of finding jobs or starting businesses after training. Such initiatives not only improve individual lives but also boost the overall economy of the state.

The pdsodisha online portal is an excellent example of e-governance in action. It helps citizens access essential services related to ration cards without standing in long queues. Beneficiaries can check eligibility criteria, verify their names in the ration card list, and even lodge complaints if needed. Such transparency strengthens people’s trust in the Public Distribution System. The initiative is a step forward in making essential food services more efficient and corruption-free.

Such a cheerful and creative post! The colors in this line are absolutely stunning, and your pairing of patterns really brings out their range. Love how you showed both soft and bold options—makes me want to start a project right away. This sora2AI and ai song maker is so nice, and this AI headshot maker is also useful.
