Whoowhooo! I have never been so glad for a Wednesday to finally arrive!
It seems like forever since we released a new pattern - it was mid-May when Mabel's Choice had her debut.
It's TIME! I know you've been waiting for this one - and I can't wait to push send on this post and make it available.
Hamilton Gardens was such a great stop for us - to walk among the different styles of gardens and see all the flowers - just look at this color!
It's a colorful, scrappy quilt!
So peaceful and serene.
To see this in January was such a great escape for me!
(We are escaping again this coming January to Australia - I am looking forward to another break from the ice and cold and seeing this kind of beauty all over again!)
Agapanthus! My favorite!
I knew I would come home and finally find a setting for these blocks that had been working in the back of my mind for a while.
Short strip sets are key to building variety.
Many of these short strips came from charm squares- random orphan leftover ones. I was so happy to put them to good use!
Scrappy blocks just sparkle!
Before I knew it I had a whole stack ready to sew together into the quilt top.
I chose a piece of yardage - yes - whole yardage! (shocker, I know!) I was happy to have enough of this backing fabric that looked like a garden on its own right.
I quilted Hamilton Gardens with a dove grey thread in an edge-to-edge design called Espalier by Hermione Agee for Lorien Quilting.
I bound it in chartreuse - of course I did!
New Zealand Inspired!
A trip to New Zealand in January 2024 gave me a chance to see Hamilton Gardens for myself. All of that inspiration is captured here with easy to follow instructions, full-color photos and graphics to help you create your own version – no triangles required!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt based on beautiful gardens.
I'm moving along on block B for Indigo Way. But I have a dentist appointment this afternoon.
And a physical tomorrow morning.
But after that it's all about sewing.
Have a Sparkling good day 💞

ReplyDeleteAnother amazing and beautiful scrap design! You are a master and so appreciated!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt! Thanks for the chance to win a pattern and fabric.
ReplyDeleteLove this new pattern! I can see it with a black or charcoal background so that it would look like stained glass, or in aqua/teal/blue/lime with a medium gray background. So many possibilities!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Gardens are a 2nd love ❤️. All the Pretty colors. Great since I just sorted scraps by color. Thanks for No Hsts! Easy enough for grandgirls.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity to win a pattern and fabric pack. This is a beautiful quilt and is a perfect homage to such an amazing garden.

ReplyDeleteBonnie,Thanks for the beautiful Quilt designs I have seen , unfortunately not made I am new to quilting. I challenged myself on your Indigo Way. My girl friend loves it. We just took out our garden but this pattern would bring the spring and summer back for me. Thanks!

ReplyDeleteOh WOW! Love it! A stunning pattern 🌸 I love the Hamilton Gardens 🥰 When my son lived in Hamilton, hubby and i would go visit him and go for a walk thru them. Loved it 🩷 We lived 2 hours drive away from Hamilton. Thank you for the opportunity to win this beautiful pattern 🌸🌷
