A Quilt for Her Sister!

Marie put this quilt together for her sister who loves all things in nature, like flowers, birds, bees, butterflies and animals. I think she did a wonderful job catching just the right things to place in the quilt. I am also sure her sister will love to get this quilt! Great job!




The quilting pattern was Flutterbys.




The thread used was Sage Green.








All kinds of green prints in the backing.




The pieced backing.
























My Plant is Confused.....

Outside it's looking like spring, but inside my plant is refusing to give up from Christmas! It just continues to bloom and bloom again and it started prior to Christmas. I guess the seasons are as confused inside as they are outside this year! Works for me!
