Happy New Year! I hope your new year is off to a great start. Mine started slow but I'm picking up speed as it goes along. It's so hard for me to slip out of holiday mode... I think I might still have a sugar high from all those darn cookies and Fruit Cake. I still have the tree up, mind you. GP has decided we shall keep it up until MARCH! Hello! Oh yeah, and the lights are still on...all the time! I asked him if we can at least turn off the lights and he said he liked it with the lights on so ON they shall remain, until March...or until we move, whichever comes first. LOL. His reason for keeping the tree up was simple, "I like it!" and since I like it too, I don't see a problem. Well, unless you're trying to get creative. I think my brain has been on a crafting hiatus for too long and finding my mojo has been a challenge.
I know I am not alone in my quest to find my mojo and when Traci from Bigfork Bay Cotton Co called to ask if I wanted to join her Girls's in the Garden Giveaway I was delighted. She sent me the entire collection to give away. Thanks Traci!

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 286 of 286I have a rose garden that my wonderful husband keeps going for me. I have allergies so that keeps me on the side lines. :( But I love it when the roses bloom and my husband brings me a bouquet of roses fresh from the flower bed.
No, I don't have a garden. That's why I need all of these patterns.
Thank You for your generous offering of four patterns-OMG!
My winter garden just has a Japanese Maple with 2 bird feeders that gather Cardinals and Finches early in the morning. What a beautiful sight!
My summer garden looks like Ava's Summer Garden. It has several varieties of Coneflower, one just as beautiful as the next one! Their fragrance is oh so delightful! There are also roses, bellflowers, coral bells, lillies, hydragena,and pig squeak-funny name but, ph those tiny pink flowers that are so bright!
Well, I have a 'garden' but lately the only thing tha grows in it are weeds!
i have a vegetable garden and several flower beds. My favorite is my butterfly garden!
I can only plant deer resistant plants. Hellebores, herbs, coneflowers, etc. If I stray from the deer resistant plants I have lots of visitors in my garden treating it like a local salad bar.
Love Pat Sloan and her patterns. I am so into garden-y things. I love looking out my kitchen window and watching the cardinals at play in my backyard.
Sadly I live in a townhouse in an apartment complex and there is no garden. I have a calla lily in my kitchen which blooms once a year...a beautiful white blossom!

I mostly plant perennials such as Evening Primrose and more. I have four beautifull roses, Outlooks.
I have flowerboxes that have petunias, pansies and begonias.
I also have a wishing well full of houseplants in Summer.
My favorite flowers are in my quilts!
Wow, I think Pat Sloan is shutting down blogspot. Love her designs, hope I win. I live in the boon docks in WV and yes we have a garden. We grow flowers, berries, we have fruit trees. Asparagus, tomatoes, potatoes, sunflowers, bell peppers, a variety of hot peppers, squash and beans. We raise goats, kids, and a grandson.
I unfortunately have been transported to FL and am still trying to find out what grows here in this sandy soil. I would love to have a vegetable garden but travel too much to keep it up. We are blessed to have a mandarin tree and this year we had a tremendous crop and were able to share them with lots of people. That is my favorite item in my backyard. I am finding little surprise flowers every so often and it is fun to see other more natural flowers come up. So for now it will be my little corner in the backyard with a few butterfly plants to entertain my need to dig in the dirt.
Thanks for the chance to enter your contest. Hope you all get some new gardening surprises this year in your backyard.

Nope, no garden as I live on a sailboat, moored in the middle of the Tahitian lagoon! But I still can grow some herbs...
My garden is onshore: the beautiful tropical flowers, coconut trees, etc. Gorgeous colors too.
Love the challenge of gardening in Wyoming. We plant all the basics, but have had successfully with oddities (for this elevation and short growing season) as okra and artichokes.
my garden is rubbish it is winter here so not much to show but in spring summer it is full of blooms from poppy's my fav to tomato plants trailing lobelia and to much to mention but thanks for the chance.
My garden is planted with roses. We also have a few other plants here and there. I love the lavender.
Well we don't have much of a garden but have just started with an allotment which we plan to plant with many vegetables with the kids so they will enjoy eating them more!
Thanks for the chance to win.
I do have a garden and a garden motto...I have to be able to eat it or smell it! I have lots of veggies and herbs mixed in with my flowers. Love these patterns!
We always have a garden though it is a challenge with our soil! Thanks for the chance to make some gardens indoors!
I wish I had a garden. I live in the middle of the Mojave Desert in the southwest area of the USA and the only thing that grows here is sagebrush. I suppose that all the sagebrush could be considered my garden. I had a garden when I lived in So. Cali. I grew many different vegetables and flowers. It was pretty, and tasty! I always thought of the poppies and roses in So. Cali as nature's garden! :) Thanks for the great giveaway!
I have a perennial garden in the front of my house as those are low maintanence and come up every year:) My hubby has plans on putting in a vegatable garden this year as he is retired and we are trying to go "organic" as much as possible with our veggies. And since I have taken on a new hobby (other than quilting)-homemade wine-I want to plant grapevines. I live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan so we have to have hardy plants for such a short growing season. Would love to win these awesome projects.
HI I live in Maryland near the ocean but I have azaelas, coneflowers, and I did grow tomatoes in pots last summer.
Unfortunately I do not have enough room to plant a food garden, but I do have peonies and iris and oriental lilies. I love the spring when my garden is in full bloom - gorgeous!!!!
I enjoy all the seasons and flowers and birds to go with them. Would love to win. Judy S.
I grow both flowers and vegetables. Here is WI our growing seasons is not very long, but we seem to always have lots of tomatoes for canning, and squash for freezing.
We have a vegetable garden and then I plant flowers all around our farm...This summer I fixed different sized pots at a tilt on a fence post so when I planted my flowers and as they grew it looked like the plants were pouring out of the pots. Well we have a goat that was dumped at our house, at least he was very small and showed up in our back yard. Anyway that fountain of flowers was looking so pretty until the goat ate all the blooms off of one side! Little stinker! Bad goat!

I have a garden and I plant vegetables and flowers, and the chipmunks plant birdseed! So every year I get clumps of sunflower seedlings.
I have flower beds all over my yard. Right now the daffodils are getting ready to open up. Probably have bout 500+ of them in different varieties. They are my fav.
I have small garden. Well, we plant roses, wild daisy and some cactus. :)
I love fresh flowers and beautiful gardens but unfortuantly I cannot grown anything alive even though I keep trying. My garden is from the material I pick out. I love roses and daisy's. It is probably a good thing too since Texas was in a terrible drought this past year.
I live in an apt so i cannot have a garden.If I won this give-a-way I could have a garden year round. Please enter me. Karleen M

I have a vegetable garden--cucumbers, tomatoes, green beans, and carrots. I also have a hosta garden and there are hostas, creeping martle, and some other perennials.
I am a primitive soul who resides in the great state of NH. My gardening follows my heart with everlastings and vintage/old fashioned flowers...not much interest in vegetable gardening, although I do plant my pumpkins for fall deco. Have loved Pat Sloan designs since I started quilting and would love to win these cute patterns in your giveaway. Thanks for the opportunity....Judy
When I lived in PA I always had a garden with tomatos, corn, eggplant, pepper, pea, string beans, carrots, radishes cabbage, lettuce, brussel sprouts and some other yummy things... but now I live in Florida and I can not get a garden to grow, It just gets to hot... but I did plant orange trees and they are doing great
Sharon said, I have a vegetable garden and also a flower garden, I really love daylillies in my flower garden
I live in Phx, AZ and I have had very bad luck growing flowers, but one of these days I will have the time to keep after the water and then maybe : )
I live in Southwest Georgia and my husband and I plant a Winter and a Summer garden. We also have a fruit orchard and lots of animals on our farm. Would love to add your garden to mine!

Boy do I have a Garden. My veggie garden has everything you can imagine. My flower garden has a wide variety of flowers with viola in abundance.
My mother is the great gardener and I pull weeds when I'm able. We have knockout roses, camillas, crepe myrtle, and many other flowering plants. Vegetables are all kinds of greens, broccoli, and whatever we can keep the critters from eating. Pat's patterns are lovely, especially the purple cone flower.
Just moved to new home in CA so can't wait to start both a flower(native plants) and vegetable garden.
Only a small indoor garden for me......too busy for any other garden.
I grow lots of different colored flowers in my garden. I especially love my blue hydragenas. Along with fruit trees, a veggie garden and lots of potted plants.
I have a few gardens around the house with primarily hostas as they are a no fuss plant other than thinning and moving after a few seasons. For me the fun in hostas is the wait and see colors. I so love that!
Gardens!! Do I have gardens?!?! I have an herb garden (with a dyer, kitchen and medicinal section), a vegetable garden, a cottage garden filled with perennials, 2 rose beds and an iris bed. Oh, I forgot the shade garden on the side of the house!
I love seasonal patterns. Thanks for the opportunity@
hello, I tried it several times and this time by opening the link in another page it is possibel.
We are living in the Netherlands, near to the german border. Our house is in the country We have a very beautiful garden, with lot of trees and flowers. Especially in the summer time is lovely. In the wintertime it has a lot of greens. Lovely patterns greetings from liesbeth
Hi There
I dont have a garden because I live in an apartment .So I have to rely on the Farmers market & the Vegetable stands for my produce .
I put all my creativity in quilting & I have been doing that for more years than I care to remember .
Love your website .

I have a wonderful garden with flowers and veggies in season. My current favorite flower is the black hollyhock I planted a couple years ago. My mom gave me the seeds.
My favorite in the veggie garden has to be any of the tomatoes I plant, especially the Brandywine. Can't beat the flavor.
Pat Sloan is a great designer and I'd love to have a go at the patterns.
I really like ranunculas( whether or not I can spell them) in the spring, columbine in the early summer and anything I can get to grow in extream heat.
I don't have a garden right now, but I will have a vegtable garden in a few months.
Thank you for the chance to win.

Hi there!
I live in California, so we are fortunate to enjoy having a garden almost year around. Our favorite garden plants are tomatoes, egg plant, squash of all varities, peppers, basil, corn and artichokes.
Please enterme in your giveaway!
Thanks, Christine
I have a vegetable garden every year (except last year because we had so much rain I couldn't work the ground until June). I have several varieties of tomatoes, lemon cucumbers, 8-ball squash, bell peppers, more tomatoes, watermelon, and cantaloupe. I love getting my garden started - nurturing the seedlings and watching them grow. I give away a lot of the vegetables because I am more interested in the growing than the eating....weird.....
Do we have a garden? We have the good foretune of living in southern California where we are forever finding new and wonderful things to grow. We have a Mediterranean climate so if you can grow it there you can grow it here. Garden wonderland.
Hi, I can't work in my garden any more but I still have a garden because when I planned the garden I planted mostly perennials so that way I still have a garden but don't have much to do.My partner puts in a vegetable garden every Spring so we have vegies during the winter. I love all of the gardens, thanks for the giveaway.
I have container gardens for flowers. It makes it easier to kepp them watered.
I am slowly getting both veg and flower garden in. I have iris bulbs, snow on the mountain, peonies and any other perrinials I can get to grow. We have just a small veg garden as it's just the 2 of left but we like our lettuce, corn, carrots and of course pumpkins.
Thanks, Janet
I am sad to say that I do not have a garden. My yard is all shade and I just don't enjoy the shade plants like I do the flowers that require a lot of sun. I have quilt gardens instead. Thanks for the chance to win one of Pat's great patterns.
I do have a garden, really have two gardens. A vegetable garden and a flower garden. I love watching plants grow.
I love Gardening and quilting. Do both in all my spare time. I live in Northern state so it's a challenge to get plants to live through our tough winters but worth it when you succeed.
It's the middle of winter here in the Midwest, flowers are all sleeping until spring. One of my favorite flowers in my garden is the bearded iris. They stand, and their deep purple color is gorgeous.
Just found your site - read several of your comments and love your wit! I plant a garden every year while I have some on going strawberries I also add some tomatoes, onions, garlic, squash and potatoes....oh and anything else my neighbor gifts me.
Please enter me in your giveaway!
Well I don't have a garden but a small balcony. I love flowers so I have pots full of flowers. I love the daisies...
Thank you for the chance to win those wonderful patterns!
I have flower gardens around my house with perennials and marigolds. My husband grows vegetables including tomatoes, beans and zucchini.

I am in Missouri. I would love to grow some brightly colored flowers, a few annuals but mostly perennials. I am hoping for more success this year. Last year was way too hot for flowers. Thank you for the giveaway.
Have a super great sewing and stitching day.
The only gardening I do is with fabric and quilting or applique. These patterns are a prime example of the gardening I love to do.
I love the Pat Sloan Patterns! So fun and quick to make. We live in NW Washington, so our growing season is very short. When my tulips and iris sprout with the promis of spring, I look forward to their bright colors. Some neighbors are able to get vegetables to grow, but we've not been so blessed. Te Summer is just too short and too cool.
Thanks for the giveaway!
I live in Lake County CA. I plant lots of things. I have fruit trees:Pear, Pomegranate, Fig, and apple. Right now I have tomatoes and peppers growing on the front porch under plastic and a light. They are doing great. In my bathroom window I have a Padron Pepper growing. I love to garden almost as much as sewing.

These are too cute!! I love to change my quilts with the seasons and these look perfect for doing that!! Have a great day and try and stay warm this weekend.
Hi Brenda...here in Southern California we can garden pretty much year-round. I'd say roses are my favorite. I've got 7 in the ground and 1 in a big pot. Every color imaginable. You are a sweetie to have this give-away!! XXXXXXXXXX(fingers crossed) Thanks deb
Hello from Canada!
I am an American living here with my wonderful Canadian Husband...
I have a truly garden of love.. My hubby worked on it for 3 years for me. I picked the plants and he did all the rest..
He made me and him a beautiful peaceful setting to enjoy . Also a place I could sit and paint etc. as I am somewhat disabled and dont get about alot.
We have Lilacs...Mock Orange...Wisteria.. many types of Hostas...Easter Lillies.. Climatis over a trellis.. and a full grapevine over our patio arbor to provide shade and of course grapes. Its a lovely place to have a BBQ.. or sit and enjoy the peace .. I love it and cannot wait every year for winter to end so we can get it ready for the spring and summer..
BTW love the new felts and wools.. Beautiful!
I would like to enter your give away..Thank you!

I have several Wisconsin gardens, and mostly they seem to contain deer food! And caterpillar food. And, occasionally, a little bit of people food sneaks in too. I started with sort of the typical mix of plants (petunias, cosmos, scented geraniums) and veggies, but I've slowly been converting to more WI natives: echinacea, rudbeckia, delphinium, lupine, mayapples, blood root, Jack in the pulpit, etc. And lots more native shrubs too: viburnum, aronia, sand cherry, shrubby St. John's wort, and a hackberry tree!
I'm new to your site but I've followed your fb page for awhile. I do have a garden - I plant ALOT of carrots and potatoes because the grandkids like to dig and pull them. I also raise and show dahlias - Here in Oregon the show season kicks off Labor Day weekend and goes through Sept. It's a true labor of love because I have nearly 2000 tubers in the ground. I quilt and knit in the winter and garden and tend to my dahlias the rest of the time. After 30 years as an Air Force wife moving so often it's wonderful to put down roots in more ways than one! Thanks for your site. L
I have lots of perennials in my flower beds. They self seed and pop up in most unusual places. (My favorite is monarda. The hummingbirds love it, too!) Each year it's a different riot of color! (An outdoor crazy quilt!) The best part is they are pretty self-sufficient. When the weather heats up, I enjoy them from the window of my sewing room.
Thank you for the opportunity to win! My mother quilts, therefore I quilt as she needs someone to go to quilt shops with her (this summer we went from NY to Yellowstone via Quilt Shops!) I have four raised bed gardens, I plant everything I need to can.... peppers, green beans and cucumbers. Plus all the goodies for summer salads, lettuce, chives and broccoli. Plus a few tires of potatoes.
Thanks again!

Hi,
I do not plant a garden because I really don't need to---my father plants one big enough to feed 5 families! My folks also have numerous flower beds that I can cut fresh flowers from. It's wonderful!
Hi! I love growing a garden. I want to grow tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini and who knows what else. My daughter would love to try her hand at Pumpkins too! I also love flowers and grow herbs too. I started lavender last year so I can use it to make things. Please enter me in your give-a-way I would love to win!
I also use gardening in my sewing having made a quilt out of vintage machine embroidered flowers!

Good morning - I LOVE to garden here in Maryland - I LOVE my veggies - all types & varieties - unfortunately the bunnies in the field love them tooooo - but it's OK - I usually get enough to eat but never to can!! My favorite is the flat white squash - I grow them for my dad - yum! But then I have my beautiful flower gardens - lots of perrenials there and I always include annuals & throw in some herbs!It's special to me cuz I have beautiful hyacinths return every year that were my grandma's when she lived in the house - it's my way of knowing that she is thinking about me every Spring when all the newness abounds!! By the way - with the "warm" winter we've had here - those little buds have already broken through the ground to say "Hi"!!
