A Rainbow Star + A Fall Celebration

As the trees turn and the air grows crisp, I find myself reaching for warm paints, cozy stitches, and colors that reflect the richness of this season. This weekend feels like the perfect time to share something bright and new — the Carpenter Rainbow Star Barn Quilt.

This design holds the tradition of the classic Carpenter Star while dancing in the joy of every hue in our Prairie Paint Collection. To me, it feels like a celebration — of harvest, of home, and of color itself. Hung on a wall, it brings light into the room, a reminder that even as days grow shorter, beauty blooms in every shade.

To welcome this quilt into the world, we’re offering 25% off all orders this weekend only. From embroidery kits and cross-stitch to paints and barn quilt patterns, I hope you’ll find something that inspires your autumn creating.

✨ Use code FALL25 at checkout.

🕰️ Sale ends Sunday at midnight.

May your weekend be full of color, warmth, and craft.

Celebrate, Dream, Create 🌻

A Rainbow Star + A Fall Celebration

Annual Fall Barn Quilt Workshop

There’s something about fall that makes me want to gather people together. Maybe it’s the golden light on the mountains, the turning of leaves, or the way autumn seems to invite us indoors with stories and craft.

This past weekend we held our annual Fall Barn Quilt Workshop—a tradition I look forward to every year. After returning from New York, it was grounding and joyful to stand once again in my Utah backyard, surrounded by friends and students, brushes moving across wood, as colors and patterns began to bloom into quilt stars.

Each design painted was unique—heritage stars, bold geometrics, and patterns that feel stitched with family and memory. I love seeing how every person’s creativity comes alive, and how a simple piece of wood becomes a story in paint.

Workshops like this remind me why I love teaching—creativity is not just about the finished piece, but about the connection, laughter, and tradition we create along the way.

As we move deeper into the season, I’ll carry the joy of this gathering with me, along with the knowledge that these barn quilts will hang on walls and barns, carrying autumn’s warmth into the months ahead.

Annual Fall Barn Quilt Workshop

✨ Fall is Golden – 25% Off This Week Only

As I’ve walked the hills here in New York these past few weeks, every meadow seems brushed with gold. The goldenrod is at its peak, lighting up the fields with autumn’s glow, and reminding me how fleeting and beautiful this season truly is.

In that same spirit, I painted the Appalachian Leaves Barn Quilt — a design that celebrates the turning of the season, when every leaf tells a story of change, resilience, and beauty. This design has always felt like a hymn to the Appalachian hillsides where autumn comes in bold colors and soft light, a patchwork of leaves dancing across the mountains.

This week, as I balance repairs at my dad’s cottage and dream toward new beginnings, I’m leaning into that reminder: beauty is found in both the work and the dreams.

✨ To celebrate fall’s golden touch, I’m offering a Golden25 Sale — 25% off everything in the shop now through Sunday with code Golden25. From Prairie Paints to barn quilt kits and embroidery, this is the perfect week to gather your autumn projects.

Just as the fields of goldenrod won’t last forever, neither will this sale. Let’s welcome fall together with color, story, and a little golden glow.

🍂 Celebrate the season. Paint the beauty. Stitch the story. 🍂

P.S. This little Golden25 Sale means more than usual for me. I’ve been pouring time (and resources) into repairs at my dad’s cottage, and just this week I stumbled upon a house here in New York  -  a foreclosed place with so much potential, and a darling white barn that is perfect for all of our east coast classes. 

 It’s a big dream, but every order you place brings me one step closer. Thank you for being part of this journey and for supporting the work that keeps these stories, paints, and quilts alive. 💛
