— Dorothy Canfield Fisher
Mother’s Day is a time to celebrate all of the mothers and mother figures in our lives—regardless of who they are to us. The love and support during all seasons of our lives is immeasurable. With Mother’s Day this coming Sunday, we share posts from The Journal archives that honor our mother figures, as well as a few of our favorite pieces from the Mother’s Day Gift Guide. These gifts are all in stock and can arrive before Sunday if ordered by tomorrow. If you need gifting inspiration or have questions about shipping deadlines, give the Guest Experience Team a call at 256-760-1090.
We recognize that Mother’s Day can be a difficult time for some. Holding space for those in need, our team is exploring outlets and ways to be respectful and more inclusive during this season.

Our newest series of DIY Kits experiments with a new layered stenciling technique we call Maggie’s Dream. In its development, we explored the use of pattern and color. The Maggie’s Dream Kit series uses our classic Magdalena Stencil and is intended to be made without embroidery, showcasing the unique graphic pattern. The series includes six styles: Maggie Dress, Maggie Top, Poncho, Frances Dress, Frances Tee, and Long Skirt. Find them in our DIY Sewing Kit collection.
