The Fragmented Summer 

12 Weeks of Inner Peace, One Fragment at a Time

Starting on the Summer Solstice, June 20, 2025

Are You Ready For A Gentle, Joy-Filled Creative Ritual To Restore Your Spirit This Summer?

This is not just a summer art project.

This is a devotion to your inner stillness, your nervous system, and your creative soul.

Each week of The Fragmented Summer offers a gentle anchor point for your attention: a single Zentangle®-inspired fragment. You’ll explore it through beautifully designed templates, step-by-step guidance, and mindful drawing prompts that open the door to flow, play, and connection.

For 12 weeks, you’ll return again and again to this quiet ritual: drawing one small piece, exploring one small shape, making one small shift.

And by the end, you may find you’ve pieced together something profound.

Meet Dr. Sarah Vedeler

Certified Zentangle Teacher

Since I was a young girl, I’ve been enchanted by the act of making — from sewing and knitting to origami and crafting tiny boxes. Creativity has always been my playground, my refuge, and my passion.

Over the last two decades, I’ve channeled that passion into designing quilts, machine embroidery appliqué, and “quilting in the hoop” patterns, sharing them with thousands of makers around the world. Somewhere along the way, I discovered that my true superpower isn’t just creating beautiful designs — it’s igniting creativity in others.

There’s nothing more fulfilling than watching someone light up with confidence as they create something beautiful with their own two hands. Whether they’re seasoned artists or complete beginners, I love helping people remember that they are creative — and that creativity is transformative.

In true nerdy-beautiful fashion, I mash up my PhD in Theoretical Computer Science and career as a software engineer with a deep love of color, design, and soulful expression.

My work has been featured on Quilting Arts TV, TheQuiltShow.com, McCall’s Quilting, Fons & Porter’s Love of Quilting, and at international events like Carrefour Européen du Patchwork.

And now — as a Certified Zentangle Teacher — I’m excited to share this gentle, magical drawing method that turns stress into peace, perfectionism into presence, and quiet moments into masterpieces of mindfulness.
