Alden Lane & a little sneak…
Alden Lane Outdoor Quilt Show in Livermore, CA……
This was our beautiful scenery for 3 days!
As a featured artist, we had the honor of having 40 quilts hanging in these 100 year old oak trees throughout the nursery. To say it looked stunning would be an understatement. The combintation of the oaks with the lines and lines of quilts hanging as if in their branches… amazing to see!
Thank you Alden Lane Nursery & Alex Anderson for the wonderful weekend!
Given the angles and the sunshine…. very, very difficult to photograph. So here are just a few….
And for those of you hoping for some pattern sneak peeks… here are a couple of shots of one of the new bag patterns… Prairie Rose….
Talk to you soon.

I had a great time at Alden Lane. The tour was so much fun and your quilts were beautiful hanging from the oaks. The last time I was that hot was on a June day in New Orleans -HOT HOT HOT, but I didn’t even mind this time. Too much eye candy going on to be uncomfortable.
Hopefully I’ll be able to say hi at PIQS. Good luck in Houston!!! I can’t wait to see all the new “stuff”.

I had a chance to see your beautiful work at Alden Lane.
And, as a bag fanatic, I need one of your bag patterns as soon as they are available!

Your photography is absolutely gorgeous! I’m very familiar with Alden Lane Nursery as my daughter lives in Livermore. Hopefully, I can be there next year!

Hi Joanna,
Just a quick note to say that the website and blog updates are really lovely. I’m in the process of taming Dreamweaver and creating my first website and you’ve inspired me to keep plugging away at it. I’ve added the Fig Tree & Co site to my study schedule (ha ha – any excuse for a Fig Tree fix). And the new bag patterns are gorgeous, cant wait to make one.
Thanks for the
