Garden Party BOM

UPDATED 4/22/2012

As there is only one month left in Garden Party, I have taken down pretty much everything except the links to patterns that are currently available.

Patterns will be available free for 2 months only.  They will be removed after that time and are no longer available.   There are no plans to re-release it.  Patterns are not available for sale at this time.

IF YOU MISSED ANY OF THE PREVIOUS PATTERNS—-THEY ARE NOT AVAILABLE—-YOU CAN NOT GET THEM NOW—-NO EXCEPTIONS.

Please respect copyright.   Permission to copy & distribute for any reason is not granted.

You may make Garden Party for your own personal use, gifts, for charity.  You may even sell the finished quilt as long as I am credited as the designer.

    • Thank you Rebecca. I’m still hoping to get your Barns pattern done. My new studio is going to be in our barn so I think your pattern will be perfect!

  1. I hope I remember to check for each months pattern. I travel about three weeks per month, not always have internet . It is a beautiful quilt.

  2. How exciting this is, it will be such fun to participate. Your quilt is just spectacular and I so appreciate that you are offering to share with us. God bless you.

  3. Thanks for sharing this beautiful quilt. Applique is right up my alley. Where do I go to get the pattern? Thanks Dana

  4. Thank You for the pattern,it’s great…….. not that it really matters, but the print is not aligned so we get 4 pages and 3 is enough…………

    • The extra pattern page is so there is a complete block outline to help with centering the pattern. :-)

  5. Thanks Sheryl
    Absolutely delighted to have the opportunity to make “Garden Party”,

  6. I love this possiblilty of greatness. The first block even I think I can do!
    THANK YOU for designing and sharing!

    • I’m sure you can do all of it! Even if you don’t do hand applique` it will be nice done in fusible.

  7. glad you are redoing this one mine is one of my ufos and with all the changes in my house who knows where it all is i was organised at one point now have 3 and a hhalf more poeple living with me. LOL in a 2 bedroom house
    need I say more one a 4 yo who at times is better than the 27 yo peple
    this was my favorite and we are cleaning sewing room as i am catching up on mail so maybe will see what i need. know i have most all of it
    here in one form or another the bird is done.

    • Jane, I’m glad to see you’re doing it. I know what you mean about things getting misplaced. Sounds like you’ve got a lot on your plate right now.

  8. This is a very beautiful pattern. I am just beginning to learn applique, and I am sure it is over my head. But I am going to try it anyway, one block at a time. Thanks.

  9. Thankyou Sheryl! My granddaughter and I will be doing one each (she’s 11) as a “quiltalong”.

  10. I just found your site in The Golden Thimble, I’m sure glad I did. My timing was great.
    This quilt is beautiful!! I look forward to getting a new pattern every month.
    Thanks,
    Lisa from Alabama

  11. Thanks Sheryl, it’s beautiful work,
    forgive but well understood. lousiana love the bird pattern has already uploaded you a box. or just rose garden party info, is the only one I see. Greetings

      • I must be missing something. I can only find the pattern for the bird, not the information page to download. Is there another page someplace where I can find the button to go where to download the information page?

      • Nevermind, I just found out that I could clickon the image and get the info. page. Sorry, I should have looked harder before i spoke. LOL This is a beautiful pc. I hope I can do this one as well. : )

  12. Can you tell us how much blue you need to buy for background? I would like
    to buy enough up front for the whole quilt so I can be sure I can get enough of the same color. Thanks, sweetie! Hope you will drop by retreat next weekend to say “hi.”

    • I probably won’t be able to visit retreat this time. The basic yardage which includes the blue background is listed in the Garden Party file on Box.net.

      The first page of the pdf is just a picture of the quilt. The second page has basic yardage info.

  13. i thoughly enjoy your website… i have looked at a lot of B.O.M., and definatly yours is by far the best…thanks for your time and effort…molly [sewnmom]

  14. This a a beautiful quilt and I thank you so much for your generosity is sharing it with us. I look forward to many nights making the blocks.

  15. Hi Sheryl and quilting friends. I am from Australia and have discovered your Garden Party BOM quilt I just love it. I have just finished the Number one block and I am now hanging out for block 2. Thankyou so much for sharing this with us I really love your site and your work. Lesley

  16. Muchas gracias, es una colcha hermosa y ya la voy a empezar , espero no perderme ningún mes. Un saludo desde España

    Gracias por tu amabilidad. Saludos desde Buenos Aires, Argentina.

  18. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful quilt pattern with us. I have signed up for your emails so I won’t miss out on any of the blocks. It is just beautiful. Hugs…

  19. Hi Sheryl thankyou so much for the second month of Garden Party I was thrilled when I seen it up on your site. One thing I need to ask are the instructions coming or am I just dumb and cannot find them. Sorry to be a nuisance Lesley

  20. Hi Sheryl, thank you for this very nice pattern! You are very generious. Just as Lesley, I coudn’t find the instructions neither. I thing there’s a link missing on the pattern file (the first one of this month). Only a photo pops up when you klik on the link…..
    Greetings Margo

  21. I’m so excited to have the chance to work on this beautiful quilt. I’m attempting to download the Garden Condo pattern file and the file seems to be missing its link. Rather than the pattern, I’m simple getting the JPEG picture. I sure would be disappointed to miss this one! Thank you so much for your generosity! Blessings…

  22. am I the only one having trouble downloading the Feb. 19th files. I can’t get them to open to go to the download page.I see three boxes when I click on them nothing happens??? Is it my problem or is everyone having this problem.

  23. Hi Sheryl,
    Hmmmm…..there are no pics showing for the new blocks. No link when i click on the box which just says” Garden Condo Pattern File. Uploaded: 2-19-2011. Removal date: 4-16-2011.

  39. Wat een schattig vogelhuisje.
    Helaas heb ik het begin gemist.

    Heel veel succes.

    Met vriendelijke groet, Ria

  40. boy sure wish I could have gotten Feb. BOM to download. Every time I came to check it had problems. Posted #60 and #87 comments. Never did get that one. drats.

  41. I have just found your website and am soooooo excited about the Garden Party Quilt. I know I missed the first 2 months and am aware of the rules. Can you or someone else tell me which blocks I missed? Thank you for any help you can give me. Hope you all have a great day! Elizabeth

  42. I just love this quilt. However, somewhere I have missed what size the 9 patch block is supposed to be. I know it can’t be random because it won’t fit otherwise.
    Hugs,
    Gypsy

  43. Guess if I had downloaded the 9-patch BEFORE I wrote, I would have known. DUH. Thank you for this delightful quilt. I’m not a piecer but 9-patches I can handle. (smile)
    Hugs,
    Gypsy

  44. Lol, getting a bit ahead of myself here as I was thinking #6 would be out today! Ah well, better I’m early than late!

  45. Sheryl I have thoughly enjoyed doing the Garden Party BOM you should be very proud you are one hell of a designer and I thank you for this. I have just finished the 9 patch this morning and I am waiting for the next block to come in I can hardly believe I am up to date. Thank you once again Lesley

  46. Que trabajo tan maravilloso…que pena no haber descubierto antes tu blog para poder hacerlo…pero estaré pendiente de él.
    Tus trabajos son fantásticos.

  47. Oooooh, paperpieced! I’ve been doing that this month anyway for a UFO. My worst decisions are what colors to use. Thanks, Sheryl!

  48. If we just discovered your wonderful BOM and missed previous months patterns, will the individuals months be offered for sale at some point?

  49. I am in ove with your quilt…unfortunately I just found it and it will be finished this month….will it be for sale in the future?…it is so very different than most and I wold love to do it!!! It is so very difficult to find such a challenging quilt that I like….
    Hugs,
    Ronni

  50. I really enjoy reading your bloq and love your patterns that I’ve faithfully been saving BUT I can’t get November’s block. When I put the link into the browser as you suggest below I just get your website.

    “Hearts & Vines: You will probably have to copy/paste the link into your browser to open it. Sorry..

    http://www.box.com/s/f3y03zvl157mbcfora0b

    I’m not too computer savvy so could you email it to me or suggest a way to get it. My email address is bill.schmidt@sympatico.ca

    many thanks

  51. The direct link that Sheryl gave
    http://www.box.com/s/f3y03zvl157mbcfora0b
    works fine.
    open your browser. eg. http://www.google.com Hightlight the above link…Ctrl +V . Replace the google link Ctrl + C This will take you to the file. Wait for it to load then download the pattern.

    Thanks Sheryl for the patterns. My computer crashed in april and i lost the first 4 months of patterns. I understand and respect your decision about replacements so my intention is to collect the rest and make up my own patterns to fill in the blank spots from the missing ones. As you said there are thousands of free patterns on the net available besides the many books in my personal collection. With a little effort i will find replacements and in the end have a beautiful quilt with a slight alteration to your original.

  52. Am I correct or not….was block 11 (November) not available for the 2 month period? Looking forward to beginning this applique after the Holidays.

  53. I love your Garden Party BOM. I down loaded November’s BOM in Nov. I just downloaded Dc. BOM. I noticed thatNov. BOM had two postings: the fabric requirements and the hearts. I did not download the hearts. I know the patterns are one line for 2 months, but when I click on the hearts, only the picture appeared. I remember you mentioning there was a problem with a pattern. I must of deleted that e-mail to refresh my memory. So can you explain it again or will Nov BOM hearts have the pattern available before the two month deadline. Thanks

  54. Sorry everyone. I just read the e-mail from Vera, Nov.22nd and saw the link to the pattern. I downloaded the pattern. I hope Vera was able to do the same.

  55. I want to join in on the garden pattern.It give me something to do in the evening.Thank you much for sharing this

  56. Well, 2011 is almost history! I am up to date on your BOM. I have thoroughly enjoyed making this quilt. Can’t wait for April so I can finish it. Thanks for all your work.

  57. Thank you for sharing Garden Party with us. I read you have a surprise for us in May. Inside the little quilter girl inside me is so excited. Reminded me of when I was small and my grandmother wouldn’t tell me what she got me. She would give little hints like, it’s about this big and she would be pointing to the first digit on her index finger or say wellllll it is bigger than a bread box or something silly like that. Thanks for the joy.

  58. Thank you for the blocks. Oh my goodness wished I had found your site when the BOM started – not at the end of it LOL – beautiful work. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. And now that i have joined your blog I will not miss anything!!! thank you once again.

  59. Love the garden party, Just became aware of the site, is there a way to get the blocks I missed?

  60. I am so glad I have finally found you. I have been working on Garden Party all through 2011. I was following you on The Golden Thimble. I love this pattern and look forward to April when it is complete. Thank you for you hard work and for sharing this with us.

  61. Thanks for sharing this beautiful quilt. I just found you site. After reading the other comments I discovered I might be getting in the end. That’s OK 4 or 5 designs will still make a nice wall hanging.

  62. Dear Sheryl
    Of course you know your hard work on the patterns created are very much appreciated by one and all, as shown in the replies you receive. They are just beautiful!
    I see your problems will be getting easier to bear soon so just keep on hanging in there.
    Much love and thanks for your time and creations.

  63. I keep coming back to look at the Christmas Time Sampler which starts in July…I hope I am not buried too deep in other projects to start this. I also hope it finishes by the end of the year so we can use it. Thanks again for your patterns.

  64. Sheryl,

    I hate even asking this question. I know how crazy it has been for you lately, but are you going to post the next Garden Party block soon? Just thought the date might have escaped you. Thank you!

    Sharon

  65. Received with much appreciation. Time is really flying – not long to go now.
    regards, Michele-Marie

  66. Thanks so much! Your designs are beautiful :-) .

    Just FYI, blocks for January & February are both marked as #13.

  67. Hi, I love the Febuary block, just recently found your blog and signed up immediated to receive your newsletter, my question is, just had to be browsing and found you had a December block for garden party, so I have January and Febuary, have I missed more than December and how can I get the blocks I have missed.

  68. Un petit coucou de Paris
    J’adore voilà un joli quilt, it’s a lovely quilt thank you Cheryl
    Evelyne

  69. I missed some of the blocks when you had it on a few years ago and vowed not to miss any this time around. I love gardening so this is perfect for our summer place.

  70. unable to download garden party BOM the second time around it saids it still going til April2012 but when imclickm on it it gives me nothing

  71. Que precioso, ya estoy deseando ponerme con este bloque, aunque aún tengo los lazos sin acabar, pero está quedando un quilt maravilloso gracias a tu fabulosos diseños.
    A la gente cada vez que publico uno de los bloques terminados les encantan.
    Saludos desde Galicia

  72. Hello,
    just letting you know that there is a problem with the links for the following

    Overlay instructions
    Middle overlay
    Left Top & Left Bottom Overlay

    Could not open these files.

    Love this project so far.

  73. Hi there, the first file says there are 7 parts to the overlay but I see only 6 so are am wondering if we are missing a part? Thanks so much for the patterns and time you’ve so generously given us! I can’t wait for the next project to begin :)

  74. Januari,

    You might try again. I was able to download and open them just fine. Sometimes you just have to download them again because an error occurred in the download process.

    Sharon

  75. Thanks, the downloads went very smoothly. Now only have April to go. Hope you are doing better since your fall and have fixed whatever was in that area so you won’t do it anymore. thanks again.

  76. I am so excited to almost finished piecing Garden Party. Thanks so much. I am looking forward to hanging this in my Dining room for Spring – Hurry up April!

  77. I was just starting a new block and found there was an error opening the file download…Garden Condo. So I don’t have the original download but thankfully I do have the foundation pattern and overlay that downloaded correctly!!! PTL I will be able to finish my blocks!!!

  78. Sheryl, just going back through the blocks I’ve downloaded and I don’t have any for December. I just want to know if I’ve missed one as I’ll have to make a note so when I do this I can sub another of the blocks for it or make an alteration. I thought I was being so good about downloading as soon as they came out, too!

  79. Thank you once again for a fantastic quilt, it is coming along, hope to finish before the end of the year.
    Hope the family are all O.K.
    I have been following the progress of you “great” sewing rooms and quilting machine.
    Wish I lived closer.
    Take care of each other

  80. Thank you. Can someone tell me where to find the Feb; the page says they will be up until April 22, but is not a hot link.
    Love the idea of scriptures in barn floor.

  81. How can I be sure I have all the blocks for this one, as I just found it a couple of months ago. Thanks for the help.
