My Garden Quilt Block

 HELLO and WELCOME!

Today I am happy to reveal my block for 

It's A Garden Party Row Along

Marian from Seams To Be Sew is hosting this Row Along for the 6th year! She works for months planning and keeping us all on top of things. It's quite a popular event and every year more designers join. I'm in my 6th year to "row along" with her.

I want to thank Northcott fabrics for being a long-time sponsor and helping each of the designers by providing us with up to 1 yard of fabric to use in our blocks. 

My choice this year was fat quarters of these 4 beautiful fabrics:


I want to tell you about the special happenings during this row along. 

Of course, there is the free quilt pattern each designer is offering during their featured week.

Each designer will tell you about giveaways and/or discount codes that happen during their week of posting. 

For everyone 

Electric Quilt Company 

has a 20% off discount code

The code is GARDENPARTY20 

Use the code to purchase products from the EQ website. 
It is good for the entire time of the row along event!

EQ Cotton Lawn Inkjet Fabric Sheets are my go-to sheets for any project where I am using photos. I've tried so many other brands of inkject fabric sheets, but EQ's are the best! They are easy to use and the feel of the sheets is so much like the quilting cottons I use.

This week only, and special to my blog, 

(starts September 10, 2020/ Ends September 17, 2020) 

is the chance to win a fat quarter bundle giveaway from 

Wouldn't a bundle of fat quarters be a great addition to your stash? 


This is a $20 value. The winner must pay shipping costs.

  21. I've been thinking about this a lot today. I was packing my car in advance of evacuating due to wildfires. I decided to take only two quilts and both were log cabins. So that may be my favorite block, maybe because when I piece it I tend to use many of my favorite fabrics, so it becomes a sentimental treasure right away.
