Introducing: Pricilla’s Star Barn Quilt

There’s a certain kind of magic stitched into the legacy of folk art — one where pattern, paint, and memory come together to tell a story. Our newest barn quilt design, Pricilla’s Star, is just that: a tribute to the quilt makers and homemakers who found joy in creating beauty from scraps and color.




Named for a woman whose spirit inspired joy, resilience, and heart, Pricilla’s Star bursts with vibrant shades from our Prairie Paint Collection. The radiating star design nods to traditional patchwork, blending modern color with old-world charm. Each quilt is framed in hand-finished wood and sealed with our Prairie Paint Finishing Wax, ensuring lasting beauty whether displayed inside or out.


Available now as a DIY Kit, Painted Barn Quilt in four big and beautiful sizes as well as a Pattern Download. 

Celebrate the light that women bring to the world — one painted star at a time.  Jump over to our Substack - Letters from Tweetle Dee to see additional behind the scenes of this design as well as a printable to go with it!

Honey Clover Shortbread Cookies

This week in the garden and the kitchen, we’ve been gathering inspiration from the fields—where wild clover sways and the bees hum through golden days. Inspired by those sweet meadows, we’re sharing one of our favorite early summer treats: Honey Clover Shortbread Cookies.



Buttery and delicate, with just a touch of golden honey, these little cookies are as simple to make as they are lovely to share. Whether you’re baking for a tea party, a picnic basket, or a quiet afternoon treat, they’re sure to carry a little wild sweetness in every bite.

We added a sprinkle of edible clover blossoms for a little folk-art charm, but they’re just as lovely plain. Each one is a little reminder of the beauty found in the small things—sunlight, blooms, and honey on the tongue.




As I rolled the dough and pressed each cookie into shape, I kept thinking of the clover in the fields and the gentle hum of bees nearby. It felt like more than a recipe—it felt like remembering something. 





That’s when the words for Where the Clover Grows came to me, a little poem to tuck alongside the cookies. Both are small and sweet, made from simple things: flour, butter, honey… and memory. 

I included the poem as a printable card, so you can share it with a plate of cookies or pin it in your journal as a quiet reminder that beauty grows wild and sweet where we take the time to notice.

For an extra treat go to my new Substack, Letters from Tweetle Dee for a Clover Field Guide!

A Celebration of Summer: Strawberry Bloom & Strawberry Fields

There’s something sweet about the early days of summer—the way the sun lingers a little longer, the hum of bees in the garden, and the burst of ripe berries hidden beneath emerald leaves. This week, we’re celebrating that magic with the release of two new barn quilt designs: Strawberry Bloom and Strawberry Fields.


Each design captures a different part of the strawberry story.

🌸 Strawberry Bloom is inspired by the delicate white blossoms that promise fruit to come. Petals spread wide, hearts open to the light—this design is a gentle nod to beginnings, hope, and the quiet beauty of things not yet ripened.



🍓 Strawberry Fields is bursting with the sweetness of summer in full swing. Strawberries shine in juicy reds, tucked among leafy vines. This pattern sings of abundance, sunshine, and the joy of gathering goodness by hand.



Both barn quilts are available in three hand-painted sizes—22", 33", and 44"—and sealed with our Prairie Paint Finishing Wax for lasting beauty. For those who love the process, we’re also offering DIY kits and printed patterns that include everything you need to create your own version at home.


Whether you're stitching the blooms or painting the fields, these designs are a love letter to the season. We hope they bring a little sweetness to your porch, garden wall, or creative space.  Be sure to use code Bloom20 to save 20% on your order.

Two New Stars for Your Studio: Black Eyed Susan & Vintage Americana Starburst Barn Quilt Kits

We’re welcoming two beloved designs into the studio in a whole new way—with the release of our Black Eyed Susan and Vintage Americana Starburst Barn Quilt Kits in a sweet and paintable 12" size!

These kits are inspired by the larger barn quilts you've seen hanging in gardens, on porches, and across barns from coast to coast. Now, they’re reimagined for your hands and heart, ready to be painted in a single afternoon.


Each kit includes everything you need to bring these stars to life—

✨ A hand-cut 12" Farmhouse Planked Board
🎨 Prairie Paints in custom colors for each design
🖌️ A brush set, heat-transfer pen, pattern, and finishing wax for that soft aged glow

The Black Eyed Susan design is a floral folk-art favorite, painted in golden blooms with a nod to summer meadows and sun-warmed fields and carries the same spirit of strength and joy as the flower that inspired it.

The Vintage Americana Starburst is a celebration of timeless tradition and country charm. With bold reds, aged whites, and soft indigo blues, it’s perfect for summertime gatherings, porch displays, or a patriotic pop in your home.

Whether you're adding to your growing barn quilt gallery or just beginning your collection, these smaller kits are the perfect weekend project—and a beautiful way to share the stories of our designs in your own space.

Two different stories—one of country heritage, one of nature’s bloom—but both tied together in the joy of creating something by hand.

You’ll find both new kits in the shop today.
Paint one for yourself. Paint one for a friend.
Let summer live on in every brushstroke.

Happy painting!

Introducing the Wilde Clover Cross Stitch Kit & Pattern

This newest cross-stitch in our Wilde Bloem Collection is a tribute to one of nature’s most humble and hopeful symbols—the wild clover. Inspired by a walk through the meadow above the lake at our family farm in New York, the Wilde Clover design captures the quiet beauty found at your feet—the little things we sometimes overlook.



Designed as a quilt, a barn quilt, an embroidery, and now a cross-stitch, this pattern features layered greens and pinks from our Prairie Paints, including the soft and verdant Clover Creek. The pattern comes as a full color mailable pattern or  downloadable PDF.  The Wilde Clover Kit includes the pattern, floss, needle, aida cloth, and scissors.  This design is framed beautifully on black Aida to let the bright bloom shine, the wood frames are also available on our website.  



Clover has long symbolized luck and good fortune. But for me, the magic was always in the heart-shaped leaves, the kind I picked as a child and pressed between pages. While others searched for the rare four-leaf, I was in awe of the perfectly shaped three, the way they grew quietly below the taller meadow flowers, the way they called in the bees.

This design is a celebration of the quiet beauty in the everyday, and a reminder that what some see as a weed, others know is a treasure.  We hope you are inspired by this design to look around you to the small symbols of hope and love around you.  You can order this pattern and kit in our shop today.
