That, of course, means that I re-read the book often. I have several editions,
These are only a few of them! |
but I must admit that my favorite is the one I had as a child.
It's fragile and in pretty bad shape, but it is dear to me. |
What does this have to do with quilting?
Look!
Gates, keys, and blooms! |
Mary, birds, and seed packets! |
I don't know yet what I will make with these, but until then, I'll just enjoy looking at them and being reminded of a wonderful book.
There is nothing better than stories coming to life in a quilt! What a wonderful find. You will surely create a treasure as wonderful as that Secret Garden!!
ReplyDeleteThanks and thanks for visiting my blog--I appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! Who does not love that book? What an awesome find in the fabric. I like to pair children's quilts with books when gifted. You would not have any problem doing that with this one.
ReplyDeleteAlso thank for commenting on my blog... thingy is a favorite technical term, LOL. The comment came in with you listed as a no reply commenter, so I googled The Eclectic Abuela. Sure hope I found the right person. (I accidentally touched the Delete button when I was aiming for the Publish button, but at least I got the info before your comment disappeared. )
You got the right person--thanks for visiting. I've got to figure out the no reply blogger thing.
ReplyDeleteI loved that book too - there is a coloring book now called that too - one of the new kinds for us creative adults :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting, Karen. I'll have to look for the coloring book. :)
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite books! And I love the fabric too! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Laurel. I just hope at some point I can bear to cut it! :)
