From Broken Pieces
If you've been with me for the past few years, you know that the January Quilt of the Month is always the Broken Dishes Quilt. It is so symbolic to me of what the beginning of a new year feels like. The taking down and packing up of the previous year and the sorting all the experiences into patterns that resemble something with order and beauty from fragments and broken pieces. I wrote a blog post about it earlier in the month that you can scroll down to.
Our moto for Tweetle Dee is Celebrate + Dream + Create. When I began this company, it came at a big transition time in my work. I had dabbled in design for embroidery and quilting for a few years, worked in a couple of quilt shops, but had spent years working in finance and real estate. I had a dream that someday I would be able to leave that steady work and make a living sharing and creating with people who loved to paint and sew.
I had been to the International Quilt Market and had 30 wholesale embroidery accounts with shops in the US and set a goal that I would walk away from my 9 to 5 job when the wholesale monthly profits equaled my paychecks. It took awhile, but that day came and it was a moment where I took all the pieces of a long journey and puzzle pieced them into the "pattern" I call Tweetle Dee.
My first International Quilt Market in 2008
(yes...Tweetle Dee used to be Gigglee Designs)
There has been so much growth and so many experiences we've had since then. If you look at the corner of the picture above in the pink frame you will see my original Celebrate Dream Create embroidery sample. It was published in a few magazines and sold like crazy in many shops.
The meaning of Celebrate Dream Create is set to remind me that everyday there is something we can celebrate, even if it's that we are alive and got our feet to move int he morning. That we should always have a dream or a simpler explanation is something we are working towards. Something we want to learn, grow through, a place to be. And, the gift of creating has been what helped me survive in my toughest times and truly helped me to find joy in moments where I struggled to have a dream.
Celebrate + Dream + Create has been with me my whole like and I love that I get to share it with you here. In a way, Broken Dishes comes from the celebrating what was, the hope that there is something beautiful that can be made from the broken, and that in creating or moving our lives, our hands, our minds...we can find the patterns and beauty-joy in our own life.
So keep at it! January is January. The beginning of a new year. The Broken Dishes Mini Barn Quilt Kit is a small creative project that is so calming to paint. The kits comes with the brush, pre-scored design board, paints and a color guide. I love being able to have a small project I can do with my hands. I hope you find these as fun to paint as I do.
This month you can save 15% on your Tweetle Dee orders in our shop with code Lovey15. Sending you a big hug! Have a wonderful week.

Barn Star and Hex Kits
Among the rolling hills of Pennsylvania, you will find barns with colorful symbols and stars. These beautiful painted signs are called hexes and barn stars. The Pennsylvania Dutch hung them on their barns to bring blessings to their families. Some of the symbols brought protections, some sun and rain, some were thought to bring happiness and success.
New to our Tweetle Dee Barn Star and Hex Collection are eight beautiful hexes. Each design is available as a Ready To Paint Kit or alone as pre-drawn round board.
Unity Star Barn Hex
The Unity Star or the Twelve Point Star is one of my personal favorites. The way the colors spin into each other creates the illusion of a kaleidoscope. The Twelve Points represented the twelve apostles of Christ. Each color also represents a value or blessing sought, so as they all twist together, you can see the symbolism of unity. We have had the Unity Star Barn Hex hanging on our home for many years, as it is the one blessing I seek for my large family with all of our different needs and personalities.
Bounteous Blessings Barn Hex
The Bounteous Blessings Barn Hex is an original Tweetle Dee design. I choose the center of stars to symbolize good luck. The hearts symbolize the blessing of love and flowers the prospect of growth and renewal. I love painting this design and I am so happy to be able to share it with you.
1849 Barn Star
The 1849 Star is a replica of one of the oldest visible barn hexes painted onto a barn. The six points represent the six day of creation from the Bible. Being a creator, this star has a special meaning to me. Particularly the way the colors flip-flop from the center to the outside. Creating is meant to be a changing process, one where you begin with a concept and as the artist, you sometime evolve with your creation and come up with something very different than what you began with. I love the old colors in this design, all of which are a part of our Prairie Paint line.
The Eight Point Star represented the resurrection of Christ, as He rose on the first day of the week following his death. It symbolizes renewal and new beginnings. Painted in different colors can also bring an added blessing sought in the hex with the color references below;
Yellow - Abundance
Orange - Energy and Creativity
Red - Love and Connection
Pink - Love
Purple - Intuition and Spiritual Ties
Blue - Peace and Protection
Green - Growth and Renewal
Black - To Bind Together
White - Purity
