Gnomes....

I finished the cutest garden over the weekend.  A Fairy garden.... they can be found pinned all over Pinterest.  My sister, Gena, made one with her girls last year and although I never saw it, I heard how adorable it was.  So I decided to make one this year, but mine is a home for a gnome.  It was so much fun to make!



I planted Irish moss, Lime Thyme, Tarragon, and a Rosemary 'tree'... made a fence from some sticks from my gardening, added a mini chair and bird feeder.  With some craft wire from my beading bin, I made a couple of Shepperd's hooks to place in the garden too.  Cocoa bean mulch covers the ground and I used some pebbles for stepping stones.



After having fun in the garden, I paper pieced this block to go with my garden party blocks.  Isn't he cute!  The pattern can be found at BubbleStitch. I still need to sew some eyes on the little guy. 

Happy quilting and perfect stitches to you!
