Sylvia, you do lovely work and I’m happy that you are enjoying sewing Aunt Millie’s Garden. Happy stitching!
Linda Moser sent me this photo of her finished Whimsical Quilt Garden quilt. Look—She put a fence around her garden! It looks so nice on her bed. Well done, Linda!
Marcia Skaarup sent me this photo of the wallhanging she made for her daughter using our pattern, My Whimsical Quilt Garden. Isn’t it cute!
Marcia says:
A wonderful feeling of Spring in this (yucky) time of ‘not winter and not yet spring’ in Kamloops, BC. A fun, quick project using fusible appliqué. Now to make one for our home…..someday….
Thanks for your wonderful pattern!
Susan Marshall sent this picture of her first attempt at applique after taking my class last year at Common Threads Quilting. Isn’t it great! So bright and pretty!

This is our Lucky Stars pattern, made with some changes to the original pattern. It’s out of print and I really do need to make it available as an ePattern, one of these days.

I’m currently working on Aunt Millie’s Garden… you have created a monster!
Go applique monsters!
How full is your email inbox? I try to keep a handle on mine but I just found a show and tell quilt that was sent to me December 4!!! Janice, I’m sorry for being so very slow. Here’s what Janice had to say:
I just finished My Whimsical Garden quilt. It was so much fun to applique with all the bright colors. I machine quilted it on my Janome home machine trying to stay with the whimsical theme. So much fun! I’m such a fan of you and Linda.
Thanks, Janice
Janice, your quilt is beautiful and the quilting is especially nice. Way to go! Thank you for sharing it with us :-).
Judy Burrell attended my Pick-Up Sticks class in October 2015 in Monument Colorado. I love it in purple!

You can find this pattern in The Quilters Practical Guide to Color. It’s a lot of fun to make, and kind of addicting :-).
