The annual spring retreat for Colorado Quilting Council was this past weekend at Snow Mountain Ranch/YMCA of the Rockies near Winter Park, Colorado. I was there on Friday night to present a trunk show of Quiltmaker quilts. The first thing I saw when I walked into the large sewing room was Jeanne Keeler making Petit Jardin—an adorable pattern featured in the March/April (No. 132) issue of Quiltmaker.
Foundation pieced flowers made a perfect retreat project
If the arrival of May has stirred your appetite to sew something for spring, Petit Jardin may be the project for you.

To make it easy, kits with fabrics similar to those shown in the magazine’s pages are available now! Less than thirty dollars buys you a whole bunch of springtime. Thanks for the photos, Jeanne!
This quilt is very pretty. Most of the time, the pictures don’t even do them any justice. Paper pieced quilts are so fun to put together, and when finished, they are always absolutely beautiful. Oh, how I wish I could just travel around for stuff like this. Do you get a kit to make it for under thirty dollars?
Yes! The kit for Petit Jardin is $29.99 and is available through this link:
