Home Sweet Home Quilt

I take inspiration wherever I find it, particularly my garden. This particular quilt was being offered as a raffle prize for a local gardening group. Nestled among living plants for sale, it gave me my garden vibe inside of a building.

applique flowers are part of the garden that doesn’t need water. (charlotte ekker wiggins photo)

This handmade quilt has several different applique panels with garden-related scenes. Tulips and purple coneflowers are in this panel. I smiled at the actual purple coneflower, which in reality look more pink.

What garden is complete without a bee skep and bees. (charlotte ekker wiggins photo)

This applique skep was a charming panel. Bees are important garden pollinators.

Daffodils are a personal favorite spring flower and loved having a panel celebrating those lovely perennial flowers.

glad to see this garden quilt also has a resident eastern bluebird. (charlotte ekker wiggins photo)

And what garden quilt would not be complete without a bird, nature’s pest control. This charming quilt includes an applique bluebird.

I don’t know who won the raffle but whoever did will have a sliver of a garden whenever they curl up with this handmade quilt.
