Sue Garman Quilt Designs

Sue Garman quilt patterns delight those who favor traditional quilting and those who prefer whimsy in their quilts. With applique and piece quilting, Sue Garman quilt patterns really do offer something for everyone.

Sue Garman quilt patterns often make use of appliqué. Applique is a sewing technique in which a design is stitched on top of another piece of fabric, usually using an appliqué stitch, blanket stitch, zig zag or satin stitch. Garman says that appliqué is her favorite technique, but she also likes intricate piece quilting.

One of the Sue Garman quilt patterns that immediately comes to mind is "The Monster Quilt." It would be a perfect gift for a child who is afraid of monsters under the bed as this Sue Garman quilt pattern brings the monsters to the top of the bed...as colorful designs on the quilt top. In addition to the monsters that are appliquéd to the top of the quilt, Garman quilted a fun verse into the quilt's border.

Another of the beautiful Sue Garman quilt patterns is "Mama Said." Each block features a design - along with a thought - of all the things your own mother probably instructed you to do, too: share, care, learn, play, love, hope, believe, dream and laugh. Once again, Garman captured an ordinary segment of every day life and transformed it into an extraordinary quilt to be enjoyed by many future generations.

Sue Garman quilt patterns are not all whimsical. Some have a very traditional feel. "Floating Stars" and "Cotton Candy" are examples of quilts that recall the quilt patterns from long ago. "Floating Stars" is actually one of the Sue Garman quilt patterns that is a replica of a Civil War era quilt.

This quilt would be the perfect addition to any nursery and would become a family heirloom.
