Mukilteo Garden and Quilt Tour: Part 5

There are two more gardens to go, but I'm going to try to wrap them up in this final post. It's not easy, though. :-)

The Newsome garden is a well settled six year old remodel surrounding a 1960s rambler, with views of the sound, mountains, Whidbey Island and ferry boats. It's a lovely setting for more remarkable quilts. 




















And finally, the Brookfield-Jordan garden, located on a quiet cul-de-sac, with a private refuge hidden in the back yard. 















 Many of the displayed quilts were created to be given away as comfort quilts, for people undergoing hardships. 



The gardens on this tour were brought to you by the Mukilteo Way Garden Club, and the quilts were created and displayed by the Mukilteo Lighthouse Quilters Guild. Thank you to all who provided us with all of this beauty.

Mukilteo Garden and Quilt Tour: part 4

The Janowicz garden is a riot of color! And the quilts just add to the eye popping affect. 









There is also a lot of fun art in this garden. Serious gardening does not preclude whimsy. 





























If you have an elf, you must provide him with a house. 





I've seen these face planters before, but never with red lipstick!
This backyard chicken coop is more my style. I grew up on a farm. I've done real chickens. 

There's still more to come.
