About Me
- Zoey
- Michigan, United States
- I am so glad you stopped by to visit my garden. I garden in lower northern Michigan (zone 5) in far less than ideal conditions. I have too many pine trees, too much shade, too many rocks, herds of hosta-munching deer and rabbits who think my lilly buds are gourmet appetizers. I am by no means an expert in horticulture or garden design--just an amateur with a shovel and a passion. My garden changes daily during the summer and I will be updating frequently. During the winter months, I blog about my favorite cold-weather hobby--quilting and just my everyday musings. I hope you enjoy your visit, and that you will come back soon.

Hello has a collage feature? You learn something new everyday!
These are gorgeous!! Do you ever enter them in quilt shows?
Zoey, those snowmans are awesome! ARe they an original design??
Wow - awesome quilts!
Thanks guys. Brit, the snowman is actually a bunch of tiny log cabin blocks. It was from a book by Crystal Carter called Holiday Happenings or something similar.
Dianne, No I have never entered in a quilt show. I am sure I do half of everything wrong as I am self taught--no classes or anything--just make them for the pure pleasure I get curling up under them each night.
Just beautiful! Just gorgeous! Weel donne!
