Is this not one of the prettiest quilts you've ever seen in your life? It's called the Garden Tea Party quilt, and it's in the new catalog from …
Keepsake Quilting. I got mine in the mail this week and almost threw it in the trash so I wouldn't be tempted to buy anything, but alas, their catalogs are far too pretty and interesting to throw away. This year has started off with a bang workwise and I've had no time to quilt, but it certainly never hurts to look and be inspired. This catalog also features several new collections of "Downton Abbey" fabrics, so if you've been hankering to order them, you can visit the fabrics online
here.
But this Garden Tea Party quilt has my heart. It features lots of applique (far beyond my skill set) and is a Block of the Month quilt (I've tried two of those quilts and quit both of them when I got behind), so I know better than to sign up for these $39.99 blocks for six months, no matter how gorgeous. Still, a girl can dream, can't she? And even though I know I'll never make this quilt, some of you super quilters out there might want to give
this quilt a try!
Too cute! My Mother was a quilter. I, alas, did not pick up that talent. Instead I crochet and do watercolor. This quilt might tempt me!
ReplyDeleteIt's perfect for the tea drinking gardener, I'd love to have one too but don't quilt. Dream on....
ReplyDeleteI love that quilt! But time constraints are an issue for me, too. Maybe one day...
ReplyDeleteThat is a pretty tea theme quilt. I'll have to follow the link to see the Downton Abbey fabric line too. Sadly, my sewing machine has been gathering dust for some time now. ☺
ReplyDeleteYou need to learn raw-edge applique. It would make this quilt a piece of cake. If you can trace and iron, you can do this...one step at a time.
ReplyDeleteHow gorgeous! I would be tempted too, Joanie
ReplyDeleteI bought charm packs (Lady Rose pattern). and other prints and made sachets filled with lavender. I am not a quilter either but couldn't resist the fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI almost emailed you about this quilt. I got my catalog in the mail this week too. You should make it.
ReplyDeleteSome day I hope to quilt - this one is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThat quilt is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't help myself. I ordered the pattern. I knew better than to sign up for the block of the month but that pattern is so charming! I can see using the components for mats, table toppers, wall hangings...
