Lissy's Flowers

Remember the other day when I showed you you the Flower Pillow? Well I told you that I was going to take a picture of Thing #2's quilt for you - the one that the pillow was made to match. As promised here it is. I finished this quilt last August.

And because it is snowing and cold here and I have nothing better to do except clean my house and do laundry I will give you a little history on this bright quilt.

I first saw this quilt when I was in a quilt shop - back when I actually lived close to one - a lady was there with her version of this quilt all done just looking for a fabric to bind it with. You all know that I am a sucker for flowers I just loved this quilt and asked her the name of the pattern: Lissy's Flowers. I started to save my pennies so that I could get the stuff to make this quilt myself. Then one day I was looking through the kits at another quilt shop and guess what I found . . . yes this quilt with everything I needed, and what sealed the deal was I had a coupon for this store!

So I made this quilt and my girl loves it. I quilted it with an all over design in hot pink thread - her choice - but I like the way it turned out. I don't get to work much with pink and this was a lot of fun. I am working on a pillow sham to go with this and will post it as soon as I get it done.

I am hoping to get her bed finished soon. Currently she is sleeping on one of the bunkbeds that I will be needed here in the next couple of months for one of the other kids. I am working on the bed at a friends house because she has the space and also had projects to work on. But I just need it to quit snowing and warm up so I can get over there.

As always, linking to the parties on the tab at top.
