Okay. I promised quilting teasers and I am delivering.
One of the songs on my upcoming July album is called Stitch by Stitch and it is — I don’t say this lightly — one of my favorite things I’ve written all year.
The concept came from thinking about what quilting really IS at its core. It’s not just making a blanket. It’s patience. It’s intention. It’s the act of taking pieces that might seem unrelated and slowly, carefully, lovingly connecting them into something that keeps people warm.
And look — you don’t have to be a quilter to understand that metaphor. Life is like that too, right? We’re all just stitching pieces together, hoping the pattern makes sense eventually.
Stitch by Stitch is a folk-pop song with warmth baked into every layer. The kind of song that sounds like a familiar hug. I wrote it thinking about quilters, but I also wrote it for anyone who has ever been patient with a process that takes time — anyone who has ever kept going when it would have been easier to leave the project in a drawer.
If that’s you (and I think it probably is), this song is for you.
More song reveals coming between now and the July release. I want you to know these songs before you even hear them. Get excited with me!
