Using Alfred's Gardens As Inspiration


Do you remember the fantastic sunflowers Alfred grew last summer? We took our inspiration from his garden to piece one of our own. This lap size version of Bridge Creek Blossoms by Atkinson Designs made up quickly. A Bonbon roll of oranges, gold and green batiks was just enough to make the flowers. A big sunflower fabric was our choice for the border. Cheryl Westlake of Alice's Quilt Shoppe in Erin did a lovely job quilting our sunflowers with the Fusions Thread by YLI in Gerber Colours.
Bridge Creek Blossom pattern - $9.95
BonBon Roll (Orange, Gold & Green) - $22.00
Our sample will be back in the store in a few days. One of our fellow quiltshops from out west borrowed it for a show.
Enjoy,
Gail
