Earlier this year, I took two days of vacation in the middle of a week in order to attend one of Bonnie's trunk shows and participate in her Sister's Choice half-day workshop in Franklin, TN.The quilt above ~ Meet Me in the Rose Garden ~ is the result. Pieced entirely from stash fabrics and quilted by Chris with traditional Baptist Fans, it has been laundered and is ready to become one of our use-me-often quilts.
Rose Garden and I went to Shelby Farms at lunchtime on Friday to soak up some sunshine and enjoy the breezy, beautiful scenery. I had to stop and wait while this growing family crossed the road ~
Eating lunch at the park is definitely better than eating at my desk!
Especially when your picnic table is under a tree like this one . . .
Did I mention it was breezy?!?

I just had to wait for a family of geese the other day, and what a pleasure to watch them! Nice quilt -- it must have really been fun to work with Bonnie.
Beautifully done. Congratulations.
Lunch outside - wonderful.
I just love it!!!! It looks so much better after being washed!!! Love the way it crinkled!
YOur quilt is beautiful and the picnic, with the quilt, was such a good idea. And, wasn't Bonnie fun? She completely wore me out when I saw her in October.
what a wonderful picnic quilt...and a lovely day to enjoy it
What a great place to have lunch!
I am with you on the picnic. I just love being in the outdoors and just enjoying nature. Great job on your quilt.

I love your quilt. I'm signed up for a full day Bonnie workshop next week using the same pattern. I need to start cutting my strips before I get there.
Congrats on your finish. I know it feels good.
