Hi all, thanks for joining us! I see this simple Fawn blanket from The Modern Robin got lots of attention over on Instagram and it's no surprise. I love that something so simple and sweet can be celebrated as much as any intricate piece of patchwork. It's easy to take on too much when making items for friends and family, and this one is a reminder that any make is beautiful no matter how complicated, as long as its made with love.

"Whale", hello there! With our newest in house collection, we invite you to sail the briny seas, and glimpse the glimmering shores, using the stars as your guide like a true Mariner. The line tells the tale of a romantic life at sea, adrift over painted waters, with untold creatures swimming in the depths below. As we well know, a bit of salt air can do wonders for any soul, so this Mariner's tale is told in colors stories that boys and girls alike can enjoy at any age.

We've already sewn up a number of fun makes with this collection. Our Meaghan has a new Caravan Tote she's excited to take with her as she jet sets to Puerto Rico this summer. And I'm looking forward to wearing these mother daughter Sailor Tops with my little Annie. We downsized the adult pattern to fit her 9 yr old frame and it came out great! My son Aidan will look rather dapper in the Feeding Frenzy in Nightfall. The pattern is the Sketchbook Shirt and we recommend adding some length if you choose a larger size.

Finally, if you're looking for a Quilt Pattern to really test those sewing sea legs, this Splash Quilt Pattern from Jaybird is a great choice, and you'll be thrilled to know it's Fat Quarter Friendly!

We cant wait to see what you're all inspired to make. Be sure to tag your projects with #MarinerFabric and/or #HawthorneThreads so we can share!

Our apparel sewers will be thrilled to know we have some new knits available from Robert Kaumfan. You'll recognize some of the designs from Andie Hanna, Ann kelle, and Jennifer Sampou, now available on a soft 95% cotton 5% Spandex Laguna Jersey Knit. An assortment of whimsical and sophisticated prints are sure to delight moms and kids alike.

For adult clothing patterns, we like the Agnes, Maritime and Lark tops, and for kids you'll want to try the Banyan Tee, and Modern Baby Set.

It's official, the bison is now the national mammal of the United States! It's no secret that we love this majestic creature and we think we'll celebrate by sewing with some of our Roam fabric! Choose from the Dawn and Dusk color stories and whip up something lovely in honor of the American Bison!
