Description
As the warmer weather approaches, we begin to see the signs of spring—the glimmers of hope after a cold winter. If you love to garden, this may mean starting seeds or planning plots and flower beds. For quilters, we are craving brighter fabrics and floral inspired quilts. It’s fascinating how we gravitate towards color palettes and patterns that reflect the seasons, isn’t it? Our issue theme is “Garden quilts: Growing your skills and your quilts like a garden”, so naturally we had to find quilts that would challenge and inspire you. Whether you enjoy growing flowers in your garden, or love to create flowers with needle and thread, (or both!) I hope this issue inspires you to create.
