4th of July Home Decor

I have been having fun pulling out my 4th of July decor. This little quilt is one of my favorites, a pattern called Endearments by Betsy Chutchian. I looked for a link to the pattern, but could not find one. It may be out of print. Betsy has a unique Civil War Reproduction style that really appeals to me.

I have lots of photos for you today. I had more 4th of July decor than I thought! This little star quilt is called Little Stars, a pattern by Minick and Simpson. I couldn't find a link to it either! I got out my Bath and Body Works patriotic candles, which are almost burned all the way down. I need to figure out how to use the jars again because they make such great accents.

For the coffee table, I like this runner in tomato red Fig Tree fabrics. I kind of made up the pattern and you can read about my inspiration here.

I have a collection of adorable wooden tomatoes which I've had for years. They are a perfect match.

In the hall that leads to our bedroom, I put a couple of extra things. The runner is a pattern called Zig Zag by Lehman Designs. 

This little Humpty Dumpty has been around for decades. I know I got him at a little shop in Los Altos, CA that has been closed for probably 30 years. He is made of some kind of fabric that has been treated to feel like oil cloth. I just love his alarmed expression. I used to keep him on a shelf in my office when I was a working person, but now he just comes out for summer. Love that little wooden slice of watermelon too.

My entry hall table is always fun to decorate seasonally. This little Minick and Simpson table runner was a kit Moda did years ago. It was a monthly subscription that was pretty pricey, but came in the cutest decorated metal box. The USA decoration is new this year. My husband actually saw it at our local hardware store and bought it for me!


Hope your week is off to a great start! Have you got your 4th of July or summer decor out yet?

I haven't seen(or don't remember) your wooden tomatoes! I love them. I can't believe it's going to be July...how?

Always love, love your holiday decorations Nicole! I enjoyed those tins with quilt kits that Moda sold a few years back. Wish they do something fun like that again. Your little candle jars are cute. I would just clean them out when they are done and put a tea light in them. Have a great 4th!!!

Wow, you have quite the collection of patriotic quilts (and more)! It all looks wonderful in your house. I need to get mine out (much smaller collection).

Thank you for posting your wonderful July decor pictures. It's inspirational! I especially love the little "Endearments" quilt. Too bad you couldn't find a link - I would like to make that one. I just finished a small table topper I made up from four variable star blocks in red, white & blue. I'll be leaving it out through July.

I enjoyed seeing all your decorations and little quilts. I think I do remember your Humpty Dumpty from years ago. And boy or boy do I love your wooden tomatoes! Unique!

I love all your runners/toppers, especially Endearments. I have a red/white/blue sampler quilt from a Barbara Brackman sewalong which I put out Memorial Day until Labor Day. I also have a wall hanging, but that's about it. I usually have too many projects going this time of year so don't get to the patriotic ones!

I love Endearments - especially the fabrics! All your decorating is inspiring. I have my seasonal feather tree, but I like the summer stuff that's on it. Maybe I'll pull the patriotic our towards Labor Day this year??

Great patriotic decor, as always! 🇺🇸 I like the new USA decoration a lot! I'll have to check the local hardware store to see what they have! Our town goes all out for the 4th...Kiddie Parade on the 2nd, judged parade on the 3rd & the main parade & fireworks on the 4th. We can never complain that there's not anything to do!

Love all your table runners and also the fact that you have a collection of wooden tomatoes 🤣
