Every Flower Bed Needs a Quilt

When “patches” of fabric meet “patches” of flowers, the results can be spectacular because both quilting and gardening – sewing and sowing – spring from a deep desire to make the world around us even more beautiful.
Sad to see your annuals fade each season? A custom quilt featuring floral fabrics can be a perennial reminder of the favorites from your garden. Or “bring the outside in” with a scrappy quilt that features fresh shades of leaf, grass, olive and pine green. Whimzie Quiltz can also literally add Mother Nature to a quilt by pounding flowers onto fabric – a unique dyeing process that takes vibrant petals from petunias, iris, morning glories and other blossoms and transfers their color onto prepared muslin for an organic look similar to a watercolor painting.
More Inspiration…
Pamper yourself with an aromatherapy pillow made using soothing lavender or calming chamomile – since it’s custom, you can even include dried herbs grown in your very own garden!
