The possibilities are endless! I've been wanting to make a simple Grandmother’s Flower Garden quilt for a while. Well, there’s no time like the present! A few weeks ago, I worked up a couple of pillows trying out my layout ideas for this simplified Grandmother’s Flower Garden. I loved this soft palette so much I couldn’t wait to see it as a quilt!

I started this quilt in February. The goal is a queen sized quilt for our bed.

A dear woman asked me to help her. She had a hexagon top that was 60+ yrs in the making, innumerable sets of hands, all with various stitching "techniques." See the top below.

I quilted around all…

I'm weary of the heat, my under-the-eaves sewing room is too hot and everything in the garden is past it's best bloom. But just on the horizon is autumn ... cool crisp air, bright blue skies ... and the beginning of a new Quilting Season. This year's TV time project is to finish the Flower Garden quilt that my Grandmother started back in the 60's. YiaYia got all the flowers pieced. I joined…
