Q: What was the first seed that grew into the Aunt Grace’s Garden Party collection?
A:Aunt Grace was a member of her local Garden Club, which met once a week. She always called it the Garden party meeting. To her it was a party as it became her social life.
Q: What are 3 words you would choose to describe this collection?
A:
1. Bright
2. Playful
3. Cheerful
Q: What single print/SKU in the collection is your favorite (can only pick one!)?
A:I would have to pick SKU 3279-0311 because it has all of the colors I used in the line. Also it will make the focal point of any 1930’s quilt pattern it is placed in.
Q:What is your dream project using this collection?
A:At this point I have not designed my own quilt for the Garden Party line, but I would probably use one of my favorite 30’s patterns to feature it in, such as the double wedding ring pattern.
