Marion Stolmeier from Sale City, GA, sent me these photos of her newly finished Butterfly Garden quilt. It’s a breath of spring-like air :-).

She wrote: “I just wanted to share my version of your butterfly garden quilt with you and say thank you for the great pattern. I altered it a little bit by turning the rows of tulips on the sides. I made the quilt a couple of years ago but didn’t have the confidence to quilt it until now. I’m so happy with it.  Happy Quilting!

Thank you, Marion, for sharing your quilt with us. You did a great job on the applique and on the quilting!

For any who are interested, you can find the pattern on its own here, or in the ebook, Applique Delights.

Peggy Schemenauer sent this photo of her Aunt Millie’s Garden quilt that she machine appliquéd and was long arm quilted by Debbie Ramsey, completed in 2005. The color scheme is happy and the layout has space to let the blocks breathe.

I love the scallops around the blocks! They are similar to but very different from the scallops in Nancy Arseneault’s quilt from a previous post.

Alice Smith sent this photo and she wrote:

“I have always loved this pattern and finally jumped in and made it. It wasn’t quick but I persevered and eventually it was finished. The red background always intrigued me so I wanted to do the same which did turn out challenging. During COVID lockdown I spent a lot of time in my sewing room making the flying geese for the sashing I designed. I am so happy with how it turned out. Thank you to you and Linda for your wonderful patterns.
(PS this one was in the AQS 2023 Paducah Show)”

The red background is beautiful and eye-catchiing. I love the way you arranged the colors of the flying geese… they quietly lead your eyes through the quilt. Well done!
