New in the Shop: Friends of Smokey Bear by Riley Blake!

There’s something magical about combining quilting with a touch of nostalgia—and the new Friends of Smokey Bear collection by Riley Blake does just that. I’m beyond excited to have this charming line available in the shop, and I know so many of you are going to fall in love with it just like I did.

🐻 Meet Smokey
Smokey Bear has been a symbol of wildfire prevention and forest conservation for generations. With his ranger hat, trusty shovel, and iconic slogan—“Only YOU can prevent wildfires”—he’s a beloved figure many of us grew up with. This fabric line beautifully captures Smokey’s spirit with vintage artwork, forest scenes, and playful illustrations that feel both timeless and fresh.

🌲 A Walk Through the Woods
The collection features a mix of rich forest greens, warm browns, sunny golds, and classic creams. You'll find adorable character prints of Smokey with woodland animals, pine tree silhouettes, camping motifs, and rustic plaids. Whether you're making a quilt for a nature-loving kiddo, a cozy cabin throw, or even tote bags and table runners for summer adventures, this fabric brings the great outdoors right to your sewing table.

🧵 Why I Love It
This line feels like a sweet trip down memory lane. For me, it’s more than just fabric—it’s about storytelling, legacy, and creating something meaningful. As someone who’s passionate about building community through creativity, I love how this collection encourages connection with nature and with each other.
