I just love Linda & her team! If you havenâ€™t shopped with her Iâ€™m sure you will, too! She only has five â€œGraceful Gardenâ€ kits left, made out of the â€œGarden Notesâ€ quilt fabric, available this year. If you want one youâ€™d better order it sooner than later!

â€œGraceful Gardenâ€ is a traditionally pieced block of the month quilt, featuring the â€œGarden Notesâ€ fabrics, designed by Diane Neukirch for Clothworks Fabrics!
