Blogger's Quilt Festival Spring 2014 - Mini Quilt Catergory

As promised here is the second entry for the Blogger's Quilt Festival over at Amy's Creative Side. I recently took part in Doll Quilt Swap 14 over on Flickr. I love doing swaps! And I had a fabulous partner that I really wanted to do something fun for. When I looked over her Flickr pictures I saw that she had a vintage aqua Holly Hobbie sewing machine and new this was the quilt I wanted to make for her!
 The pattern is from Lori Holt of Bee in my Bonnet. She was one of my favorite pattern and fabric designers. I love her style, and have you seen her adorable house!? I have had this pattern for while, so I was excited to finally have an excuse to use it.
Lots of applique and some embroidery on this one. And of course, buttons!  
My favorite part is the tomato pin cushion. I love the little "pins" made with beads.
 I hand stitched the letters using a blanket stitch.
 I made the cord using red rick rick and then adding a white embroidery thread after each rick or is it rack? :) I also did some loopy loop quilting on the background fabric.
On the back I used an adorable print from Pam Kitty Morning. Oh how I love my florals!
I hope you like this little mini, I really want to make one for myself. Be sure and check out all of the fun quilts at:

  15. You did a fab job on this for your swop buddy on Flickr.

    I'm trying to find out where to get the pattern but can't find it anywhere; even on FQS's site. Could you please help me by telling me what the pattern is called.

    Many thanks

  17. Drat! It's only a paper copy; there isn't a pdf version. I'm in the UK, so customs and postage will be silly amounts :-( I'll have to find out if any of my friends are going over to USA and they can get me a copy whilst they're there ;-) ... There's always a way around issues!

    Congratulations

  22. Hi Ellie,
    I found your darling quilt "Heart Garden." My six year old granddaughter requested a quilt, I've already made her four, and I know she will love this one. She loves hearts. I couldn't find the fabric in a layer cake, but did find a jelly roll on etsy. Is there anyway you can let me know how I could convert this into a jelly roll quilt? The layer cake is a little large for her anyway. I can figure out the rest. I just need to know how to do the strips. I would appreciate any ideas. I'm not very good at conversions.
    Thanks, Kathy Atria

  23. I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
