Garden Party
 

Hello All,

this was a scrap quilt that I made up to practice some quilting designs that came with the pattern. I also made one in black with saturated color scraps, havent started that one yet...but soon. While I was talking on phone to my mom about this quilt she mentioned that my sister needs an gift for a friends daughter who is making her confirmation and this quilt would be perfect. LOL, seriously it is hard to tell mom "no" about anything. So I said fine, since this quilt didnt have a home and was just for me to play with. Then mom lets slip that it needs to be shipped and at sisters house no later than april 9th :eek: I swear she thinks I am magical! Well I did it, suppose that is part of the problem here, I keep meeting her high expectations. LOL. Oh well! Ok without further ado, here is "Garden Party"

That is very pretty! The girl who gets this will love it!

Love the quilt. The quilting is impressive. ...

This is so gorgeous. The quilting is perfect. Trying to decide if all blocks are the same size or if it is an optical illusion in color that makes them look different sizes?

Nice to see this.
Thanks for sharing.

You are magical and so is your quilt. It's just lovely, bright and cheerful.

Sounds like Mom keeps you busy! Your quilt is simple and beautiful. The quilting is fabulous! It doesn't look like you need any practice quilting.

Please send Mother's phone# so that I can get her to plead for a quilt like that for me.

This is adorable! A lovely "Garden Party" it is.

Your quilting is just incredible!

Cool quilt and the quilting is super. BrendaK

You did a great job! I have the book but all I have accomplished so far is drooling over the pages. I actually bought this book because I love her quilting and thought looking at the pictures would be enough. Someone said it had patterns in it and I thought well I probably woun't like them - BUT I was pleasantly surprised I like very quilt in the book so that was just icing on the cake. Hopefully I will get to trying them before too long.

FYI - If anyone was thinking about this book - it is well worth the price!

Beautiful quilt. Love your quilting.

Beautiful quilt and your quilting is amazing

Wow, your quilt is really pretty and your quilting is wonderful! Your mom knows you much to well, anybody who can make something so pretty in my mind is magical. .

I would never be able to part with something that beautiful. Hope your sister paid you for your time and talents!

Thank you so much for posting all the quilt info. I wish everyone would at least put the name of the pattern they use. SO helpful. Beautiful quilt and quilting.

I love the quilting you did. Very talented..

The simple lines of the quilt certainly provide a framework for your beautiful quilting. Wonderful quilt that is sure to be enjoyed.
