A Quilter's Garden A Quilter’s Garden
By: Persimon Dreams,
Wisconsin, USA

Inspired by a ‘Tool Time’ Project QUILTING Challenge. The four ‘tools’ I used for my inspiration were…
Rotary Cutter (flowers)
Needle (stems of the flowers)
Scissors (leaves)
Stick Pins (rays coming from flowers). Simple linear quilting for grass and ‘flower rays’ make the perfect final touch

By: Glenda Penner,

Original design-Brave little pansies bloom almost year round here on the coast. Raw edge applique; such a freeing technique, was placed over a pieced background. I exaggerated the value difference for emphasis and they really show up crisply, even from a distance. I love the flower pot fabric.

    My favorite flowers are lilacs. They smell so good, but it’s too bad they don’t bloom all summer.

    Choosing a favorite flower is like choosing a favorite color. Still, I’m pretty sentimental about old fashioned pinks. I love their blue green foliage and petals with the wonderful pinked edges in lip-stick shades. So lovely.

    Right now I have no flowers in my yard. The rental house has rock and ponderosa pines. I’m up at 6500 feet. If I had flowers, I love freesias and old fashioned scented roses (not the hybrids)

    Right now I have my peonies blooming. This is the best year ever. Even the new one that didn’t even sprout last year has the largest hot pink bloom. Unfortunately peony season is only 2-3 weeks long!

    Wow! I need to take pictures so I can make my own fabric from these glorious blooms.

    Nice quilts. Pretty fabric. :) I wish I had a garden. There are gardenia bushes in the front and they make me gag. There is one pretty flower on the other side of the house. It looks like an upside down spider lily. Very pretty.
