Primitive Garden Quilt
I finally got my “Primitive Garden” Quilt finished after about 2.5 years!!!
I love everything about this quilt and I am so glad that I took this challenge on, when I had never even done any wool applique projects before!
Just a word of warning…this post is very photo heavy!! :)
I decided that I would take my quilt on a little photo shoot in the country, and I may or may not have gotten just a little bit carried away!
This is the full quilt hanging off the deck at our cabin.
I love the full effect of the quilt…and have decided that it will be a wall hanging instead of a bedspread!
The name of this quilt is called, “A Primitive Garden”. The pattern is from Primitive Gatherings.
I did this quilt as a block of the month from “The Christmas Goose” quilt shop in Las Vegas, Nevada.
They shipped the blocks to me every month and were so good to answer any questions that I had!
Here are a couple of close-ups of some of the blocks….
Loved doing this quilt and I am ready to get started on another block of the the month! :)
The first stop on my road tour, was this beautiful home in Oakley, UT.
I just went up to the door and asked if I could take a few pictures of the quilt on their old wagon out in the yard. The lady there was so nice and she and her husband both came out and talked to me and told me about their beautiful home!
This picture is on the gate that led into their yard. I wanted to show you the border that I ended up putting across the back of the quilt! It was made from left-over 2 inch squares that went into all of the borders around each appliqued block.
My next stop was actually at one of our friend’s that live up in Oakley. She happened to be outside when we drove by, so we stopped and had a good little visit and I took these fun pictures out in her beautiful yard! 
Don’t you just love the backgrounds of all of these pictures!
This picture was taken on an old fence that is on the way back to our cabin. The old fence was a natural place to hang this “garden” quilt!
So that is my Primitive Garden Quilt tour!
I loved this picture of the flag in the background…however I did not love the telephone poles!!!
I just got Photoshop Elements and I am in the process of learning it. Maybe when I get good enough, I can get rid of the telephone poles!!:)
Thanks for Visiting…Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Absolutely beautiful, that is an heirloom!!
Renee, Thank you! I joke that this quilt better darn well be the one the kids fight over after I am gone!! :) Just kidding of course!
Wow! It’s gorgeous!
Annie, Thank you, both for taking the time to write and for your kind comment! Hope you have a wonderful day.
OH, SO Beautiful Rita!! Remember, to someone those poles mean they have electricity!! (smiley) I like the poles!! and LOVE the quilt there!
Mardene, Thank you so much for your kind comment and your wonderful sweet support! I know that someone is very glad to have those poles there…I would be if I lived there! Thanks for your positive attitude! Hope you have a wonderful day.
The quilt is beautiful. Thank you for sharing, I wouldn’t be too concerned about the poles. They just authenticate the rural area. Cities have metal poles and towers to carry electricity.
Cathleen, thank you so much for taking the time to write your kind comment. I appreciate your sweet support. I know that those that live in that area are very grateful for those power poles, and you are right about it being authentic to the area! Thank you!
What a masterpiece! I’m sure you are very proud of your hard work. Simply beautiful! Love every one of your pictures. Thanks for sharing.
Cindy, Thank you so much for taking the time to write your kind comment. I am pretty proud of this quilt and I appreciate your kind words and thoughts. Thanks again!
Congrats on finishing & it’s gorgeous!!!😊💕
Pat, Thank you so much. I appreciate your kind words and sweet support! Hope you have a wonderful day!
this is a labor of love and your infinite patience. I will admire it from afar as I know it would be the end of me. lol
Susie, You are right about it being a labor of love…and patience! But I love it now that it is done! I don’t think I will be doing another one any time soon, however! :)
Your quilt is beautiful. I told you before and I’m telling you again, you have more patience than a saint. :0)
I appreciate all your photos of your most beautiful quilt! I have just joined this BOM quilt project too. And like you, have never done any wool appliqué (but have done cotton). If I may ask, what type of thread did you use to appliqué with? It is so pretty! I know it will be a long project, but so worthwhile! Thanks for sharing. Debbie
Debbie, Thank you for your kind comment. I loved hearing from a fellow quilter! This quilt is a beautiful quilt. It is quite time consuming, but if you are not in a hurry it is a fun project to pick up and work on. You can take it with you because you are only working on one block at a time! The thread that i used is Valdani. It is kind of expensive, but I figured that if I was going to put the money into a wool quilt, I wanted to use high quality thread too. There are a lot of variegated colors that you can use for several different colors of the wool. Good luck with this project!!
