Bugs in the Whimsical Garden…

Yesterday I showed you a Halloween North Pole. Today I have to share Sherril Gerard's version of My Whimsical Quilt Garden. Sherril was in my class at the Orange Grove Quilt Guild. I was able to take more photos of Sherril's quilt! From a distance it looks a lot like the quilt Linda made…

…but up close you can see the bugs that Sherril fussy-cut and appliqued in place!

The inked ants are a crack-up! And you might notice that there is more ind-work around the some of the bugs. Note the feet and antennae on the bug, above.

I am, once again, happy to see what another quilter has done with one of our patterns. 

PS – Sherril also said that she was hurrying to finish the quilt so that she could bring it to guild while I was there. It was only after it was finished that she realized the bug fabric on the back was upside-down. So she added this note to the back. This is a woman with a sense of humor!

  1. How beautiful this quilt is. I must say that when I first viewed it on your blog I had to look close as I thought you had my quilt up there. Sherril has used some of the same fabrics I used and apart from her gorgeous bug additions our quilts could be twins.
    If I can I will post a pic of mine.
