Make Sweet Petunias Quilt With Jenny!

Petunias are the unsung hero of the flower garden. Those vibrant petals and long-lasting blooms adorn my yard with color all summer long. Of course, as fall draws near, my petunias tend to look a little “long-in-the-tooth,” and by first frost, they’re ready to be retired.

If you’re looking for a petunia that can stand the test of time, today is your lucky day! Jenny is stitching up an everlasting garden of simple blooms in our newest tutorial, Sweet Petunias. Click HERE now to watch!

Jenny’s Bargello Quilt

In the heart of Florence, Italy, stands an 800-year-old palace. The Bargello Palace is now a museum that contains artistic masterpieces by Michelangelo, Donatello, and Cellini.

The palace also houses a set of 17th century chairs embroidered in colorful waves. For years, quilters have been stitching up intricate patterns inspired by those beautiful Bargello chairs, and today, you can too!
