Home Grown Virtual Trunk Show

Today we're going to take you on a virtual trunk show of Nancy Halvorsen's Home Grown projects. 
Nancy has shared them all in her book, Home Grown. Take a peek:




In Our House
The book is based on this quilt--nine different applique scenes, each featuring a positive message. 

In addition to the quilt, Nancy shows how the blocks can be used in smaller formats--quicker to sew, easier to make, and fun to give as gifts. 

Nancy says, "I haven't done applique on a dark background before and I love how the colors pop on the gray. The center block is one of my favorites. I love how it turned out. Love Lives Here is another one of my favorites, and Believe In yourself." 


The center block as a pillow: 



The center block becomes a table topper with fun scalloped edges:



 A mini quilt with the bee skep:



The bright sunshine of Choose Happy on a pillow:


Dream Big: perfect for a baby's room:


Three blocks in a vertical wall hanging: 


Nancy also used many of the motifs from the quilt on tea towels--so sweet! 


Sweet mother-daughter aprons:



Chef aprons too!



The book also includes two additional quilts.

Home Grown
This quilt features the blocks from the panels, as well as pieced letters, houses, and hearts. 


Trellis Garden
This pieced quilt is made up of scrappy flowers. I love all the colors in it!


And don't forget the free quilt pattern, available on the Benartex website:
Our Nest is Best designed by Heidi Pridemore

    1. A GREAT SPELL CASTER (DR. EMU) THAT HELP ME BRING BACK MY EX GIRLFRIEND.
      Am so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day i heard about the DR. EMU and I emailed him and he replied to me so kindly and helped me get back my lovely relationship that was already gone for two months.
      Email him at: Emutemple@gmail.com  
      Call or Whats-app him: +2347012841542
