One of my favorite classic songs is called On the Sunny Side of the Street. It puts a smile on my face everytime I hear it:

"Grab your coat and get your hat
Leave your worry on the doorstep
Just direct your feet
To the sunny side of the street
Can't you hear a pitter-pat?
And that happy tune is your step
Life can be so sweet
On the sunny side of the street”

Inspired by this cheerful song, my new Sunnyside collection was such a ray of sunshine to design. Staying true to my favorite vintage modern style, it is full of beautiful vintage florals complimented by sweet basics in a fresh new color palette. Coastal blues blend with with olive greens, mulberry, coral pinks, and even some soft oranges for added sunshine to create a timeless feel. It is such a joy to sew with, and sure to brighten even a cloudy day. Come join me on the sunny side of the street.

As much as I love exploring new places, I have come to terms with the fact that I am and will always be a homebody at heart. There is just something about the comfort of coming home and changing into comfy clothes, curling up in a worn chair and reading a favorite book that can’t be topped. When I was designing this collection I kept coming back to that feeling and hoped I could make Dwell feel a little like coming home. The beautiful florals in navy and green paired with perfect shades of pink and gray remind me of my favorite chair in my childhood home while the classic ticking stripe and coordinating basics include some elements from my current home.

Marvin J Ashton put it best when he said “Home should be an anchor, a port in a storm, a refuge, a happy place in which to dwell, a place where we are loved and where we can love.” I hope the quilts and projects you make with this collection will always remind you, wherever you may be, of home.
