Sweet summertime is here! Whether you have some extra free time on your hands during the summer months or are looking for an indoor activity to help beat the summer heat, Quilt Quarters offers an enticing array of fabrics and patterns that are guaranteed to make those summer sewing, embroidery, and quilting projects burst with color.
Embrace the sunny days with these three delightful summer craft projects!
1. A Homemade Sunglasses Case
Stylish shades are a summer accessory staple and essential for protecting your eyes against the beaming of the sun’s strong rays. Keeping your sunglasses close by at all times is a must in the summer, so why not make a personalized homemade case to make sure yours stay protected and scratch-free in between wears. Heather Handmade has a free pattern to make your own custom sunglasses case. It is a perfect beginner-friendly sewing project that will bring a smile to your face every time you use it!

2. Cute Summer S’mores Embroidery Hoop Art
For many, s’mores are a quintessential summer treat! There is nothing quite like the experience of roasting marshmallows over an open fire to make gooey, chocolatey s’mores on a summer night. With that being said, we can’t get over how adorable Beverly McCullough’s Cute Summer S’mores Embroidery Hoop Art is! The detail of the “toasted” white pom pom trim is brilliant and adds a special touch to an already charming craft. If you’re not particularly crazy about s’mores, try your hand at swapping in your favorite summer treat instead!
3. Popsicle Mug Rug
Avoid pesky water stains from your ice cold drinks this summer with Ameroonie designs’ fun Popsicle Mug Rug pattern! This mug rug is the perfect solution to preserving your furniture and adds a wonderful pop of color to any space. This project allows you to really capture the essence of summer when choosing your colors and patterns, while still giving you the opportunity to add your own personal flair. This is also a great project for practicing your quilting skills on a smaller scale rather than taking on a full-size quilted blanket.
