Whether your favorite posies adorn flowerbeds or feather beds, you're sure to cultivate a special affinity for these summer-inspired quilts from Laurie Bird.
Applique a quartet of gardeners who happily tend blossoms at their windows. House friendly honeybees in a cozy skep.
Or celebrate the serenity of a twilight garden by surrounding a nearby star with a blooming vine.
Select your fabrics from an array of pastel prints, and treat yourself to some old-fashioned gardening fun -- no gloves, soil, or perspiration necessary!
3 Projects: Country Star (large appliqued star entwined with flowers in center panel);
The Desert Shall Blossom (appliqued bee skep and flowers in center panel, with corner blocks of Shoo Fly and Double Monkey Wrench); and Flower Boxes (4 blocks, each with an appliqued woman in bonnet, tending flower box).
