Other flowers come to mind this time of year, too.                         

Why not create a fabric or mixed media  book of flowers?

If not a book, try a collage page.  This may inspire you to do more and eventually make a book.  Also, the collage pages can be three-dimensional and ultimately framed.

Forsythia Inspires Quilting

I wrote about flower quilts and art reminding me of quilting with my grandmother and the gardens at her Trails End Farm.

Quilting and Patchwork joined the Showcase with Quilting in the Garden & Other Spring Thoughts. 

Has springtime inspired you in your crafts, quilting, art and cultural pursuits?

Quilting & Patchwork Joins Springtime Showcase

                                             This brought to mind other garden and floral themes that permeate throughout the quilting world and have been around since Grandmother’s Flower Garden and others.  As you take a walk through quilting history, you’ll find that flowers inspired many of the pioneer quilters, sometimes from gardens with masses of flowers and others that consisted of a single rose bush on the harsh prairie.               How are flowers and spring and the miracle of growing things inspiring your quilting and fabric art?

Quilting in the Garden & Other Spring Thoughts

(I receive Julie’s newsletter with the happenings at her quilt store and new fabrics available.) 

So as we think of spring and flowers, we might start searching for floral quilt patterns and fabrics with these designs on them.
