This is the beginning.....

Hello!! Let me tell you- this is exciting! The first post! So what do most people talk about? I'll just start rambling and see where it gets me. Gardenseed Blessings is a blog that my mom and I started. At the moment, we are obsessed with quilting! Ok, here's some background info. Growing up, my mom was taught how to quilt by my amazing grandmother, Jane. She recently passed in November of 2009. I wish you could have known her with her big heart and easy smile. She always said I love you. So, when starting this blog we both thought it would be awesome if we could somehow include her. The brainstorming began. "Gardenseed" was the word that my nana would say instead of cursing. She really was the sweetest thing so of course she wouldn't curse! My mom and I both knew that "gardenseed" would be in the title, but it still needed something- "gardenseed... what?" We had thought of some other options, but it didn't have that ring yet. Oh, let me add that this was at 3 am! So, after racking our brain for that special word, I just sat back and let my mind stop. "What about Gardenseed Blessings?" The second the words came out of my mouth, it was done. That was it! Gardenseed Blessings. It's sweet and southern and tributes my nana. It's perfect! Having this be the title of our blog makes me smile. Every time I say it, I get a great memory of my nana!

So with all of this said, I hope you will continue to check back! You can expect to see great photographs of amazing work. Whether it be a quilt, a dress or a scarf, you just never know with us! My mom just finished a quilt a few days ago and the pictures will be up asap! You definitely will want to see this!

love&hugs
