Morning Mirror. Emigrant Wilderness backpack trip with my dear friend.
Summer has been beautiful... It's time to look back and reflect on a few highlights for this post. Today's focus is on color in nature and quilts...I hope you enjoy this photo montage. It's less about my words and more about what I see. Nature is at the core of my inspiration, what I design on fabric and how I am inspired through quilting. I also highlight makers who are simpatico. Our natural world is so incredibly precious...We must protect, preserve and promise to be better stewards to our planet.

Dawn Star made by Candace Maggard of @quilt.haus IG. Showcasing SKY and various prints. She has a command of the colors of nature, don't you think? It's perfect harmony.

I love my camp chair and it's pop of color. It adds an extra 18 oz to my pack weight- but worth it at the end of the day.

Summer isn't over yet, I am cherishing the last days of long light before we settle into fall. I still have spaces left in my SKY OMBRÉ MISA  Retreat in La Point, WI on Madeline Island October 4-8. It's going to be wonderful. A week long delicious retreat diving into OMBRÉ SKY using patterns from my book OMBRÉ QUILTS as the colors change on the trees. We will be surrounded by Lake Superior, working in red barns, eating wonderful food and unleashing the mystery of a 1,000 colors at our fingertips! Daily talks about design, learning in-depth techniques on color, value, creating glow coupled with tips and piecing techniques sure to inspire. Please join me. Below is a 5 min video explanation plus I am doing a live Instagram Q&A Thursday at 11am PST so tune in with questions! You deserve this... So treat yourself :)
Catch me on Instagram @jennifersampou...for current meandering! Stay safe and hug your loved ones. Xx
