SASSY GARDEN!

In 2010 Jane Sassaman had a line of fabric called Sunshine and Shadows,

that I fell in love with. A collection of beautiful Garden Prints that included

 Coleus, Jack in the Pulpit, Twigs and Garden Tiles.

I often purge my stash but I just couldn't give this fabric up!

It sat in my stash until last year (2022) when 

I found a pattern on PINTEREST I wanted to use. 

The pattern was in a 2010 International Quilt Festival magazine that

was no longer in print. I ordered a digital copy of the magazine with

The "Avalon" pattern, by Elizabeth Hartman.

I loved this design that I think looks like garden beds.

The backing was a vibrant mustardy color (in my stash).

 I added prints of Jack in the Pulpit for a modern finish!

  WIN WIN!

While visiting my son in Myrtle Beach last September (2023)

we visited Brookgreen Gardens (Garden City, SC) for a photo op!

The E2E Ginko Leaves pattern was Longarm Quilted by

Kim Hensley of Happily Ever Quilting.

This is Eric...my Raider's of the Lost Ark kiddo!

I can't even tell you how much this day meant to me.

Spending time with Eric and my beautiful quilt in a stunning garden

is all this Mom could hope for!

I think he enjoyed it too!

My kid doesn't like to be in photos nor does he like any extra

attention when out and about.

Sew this day was a gift from God...

as Eric will always be!
