weaving Tapestry Gardens

Every two years I host a longterm block-of-the-month program. This year is our first with the Substack chat for connection. I’m so pleased with how it’s working to connect makers with each other!! There’s a great energy in the group and it is absolutely delightful to watch so many unique Tapestry Garden quilts unfold.

Today I’ll share a few recent quilts-in-progress from the Stitched in Color chat community. Enjoy!

“The morning light Is photobombing my design wall. Working on finding the right fabric for cornerstones in the Stone Path block. Love this pretty floral but fear it may vanish …” -Clare

“Finally caught up- it probably looks a little chaotic up close but I love all the little sections coming together.” - Deborah Hoppe

“We are getting close to the end! I’m loving it so much. I’m still not certain about the center of my waterlily, but I am going to wait to see how much the last few remaining blocks use up my purple fabrics before I decide on a change.” - Rachel

“The genius of this quilt is that with every addition each month you see how important each piece is to the whole. Even the simplest blocks have their part to play! This month it’s the rhythm of the stone path and the oh so important darks. Just love it!” - Patti M.

“Stone Path was fun and it’s amazing how the blocks are fitting together! In February, I thought I’d have to go back and change out Patio colors but now I think they’re fine. Phew!” - Marcia Fowler

“Just finished August Tapestry Garden BOM. My scraps are beginning to sing together—of course they are loud and a bit out of tune —but I’m really trying to follow Rachel’s design plan and am enjoying the block variety and skill building 🤓” - Virginia Tylenda

“Enjoyed this month!” - Kate Pritchard

“This is the most fun project! It is absolute madness with all the colors and creative blocks and the way they’re put together. I feel like this is exactly what’s in my brain on any given day. 🤣The trad quilters at my guild are going to gasp with shock! I can’t wait to show and tell this mercurial behemoth. It’s the Midsummer Night’s Dream of quilts!❤️❤️❤️” - Hilary

Thank you each and every one (and also those not pictured here) for joining in on this big, quilty adventure!!!
