I finished my new garden quilt just in time to lounge on the Adirondack chair with a cool beverage and a good book.
I used the Crazy Eights quilt pattern by Bits ‘N Pieces and a stack of fat quarters, mostly Amy Butler fabrics, along with a few others in the mix. After I finished piecing the top, I wasn’t real happy with the results because there wasn’t any order to the fabric layout. But I decided to free myself and learn to like the quilt for the fact that it wasn‘t so orderly.
I was overjoyed with how it turned out after my friend Julie machine-quilted the layers. Besides the cool quilt design she made, she also used variegated thread on the front, which blends in with the fabric colors, yet sets them off as well.
The bugs are starting to come out and take of the gardens, so I better get back inside. Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Terri,
I ran across your blog while looking up Julie Jenkins’ website for a former customer of mine. I am “fiber artist” as well (I call myself this because I love all things fiber). I recently started a new adventure to eventually be able to have more time to craft, and work less. I would love to have a cup of coffee and talk a little fiber and tell you about my adventure! I’m always looking for new fiber friends.
