Lovely Garden by Mary Chappelle

Challenge 11.3 – “Put a Heart on It” February 2020

This little quilt was inspired by a lovely garden next to a trail where I frequently walk my dog. The fence along the side has the back of a small wooden gazebo structure and there are two hearts cut into the back. Two people sitting there would be very close indeed!

 

The yard is huge, perhaps an acre or more, and the people who live there work tirelessly in their yard. The yard is divided into numerous garden areas with different types of plants, as well as water features.

When I stopped one day to tell the woman how much I admired and liked her garden, she told me she created it so that people would have something pretty to look at! Well, she has definitely succeeded.

I always think the hearts are a sweet addition to everything else that’s heartwarming in the yard.
