Our Lone Star quilt
Here is a picture of the beautiful Lone Star quilt that our friend, Georgia, made for us. The picture does not do it proper justice but it's the best I could do. I was going to take a picture with DH holding it up, but alas! even at six-feet tall and with his arms extended while standing on our porch steps, DH wasn't tall enough for the quilt (it's king-sized for our bed). So I took a picture of it on our bed.
All the fabrics are bluebonnet themed - my favorite Texas wildflower. After admiring it on our bed, I flipped it to the back side to admire the different quilting patterns Georgia had used. Feathers and stars and curly-ques, oh my!
It looks lovely on our bed and we anticipate enjoying it for many, many years. Thanks, Georgia!
Howdy! I'm a Native Texan living in Texas with my dear husband (DH) of 25+ years. We share our home with Annie, a rescued Jack Russell terrier. I'm past the half-century mark. My main hobby is cross-stitching. My other hobbies include reading, and finishing and/or staining and/or painting anything DH makes out of wood and brings into the house. I occasionally sew when needed. We live in the country in an old hunting cabin that we're renovating ourselves. We're card-carrying tightwads.
