Quilt Pattern

Home Grown Pride

Located in Greeneville, this trail stop along the Quilt Trail is part of Greene County, within the East Tennessee region.

MAIN INFORMATION

Home Grown Pride is a quilt pattern developed through a combined effort of Sandee Cook, co-owner of Cooks Greenhouses, and friends Kimberly Schneider, artist and Downtown Johnson City business owner, and Lynn Frierson, textile artist and quilter. Sandee enlisted her friends help to accomplish her goal of representing garden/plant growth and tradition in the design of a quilt square for display at her greenhouse operation in Greene County. She feels this has been accomplished in that the design depicts home grown American pride, with the basket of growing plants and incorporating a representation of the American Flag.

Encourage local agriculture and eat some tasty heirloom tomatoes, herbs, and peppers or landscape with beautiful annuals and ornamental grasses.

Sandee and her husband, Steve, moved to Northeast Tennessee in 2000 and found what they were looking for some flat land as well as gently rolling hills with a view of the mountains. Their dream was to have a catfish pond or two, and to build a greenhouse. Sandee and Steve, and their oldest son, Eric Ensign, built the greenhouse structures themselves, with electrical work done by Future Builders, Inc. of Greeneville. The greenhouse operation began in 2001. Cooks Greenhouses offers heirloom tomatoes, herbs (both medicinal and culinary), peppers, annuals and ornamental grasses.
