My fabulous photography assistant, Super Ally, and I would like to share my latest quilt finish with you....
I'm calling it Bluebonnet Hugs. The colors remind me of the Texas Bluebonnets we enjoy every spring. And this quilt is meant to offer special hugs to my sweet sister, Diane, and her husband Dave who have been so welcoming and kind, letting Ally & I stay with them for almost 2 months this winter while we were in Ohio.....
In case you've never seen bluebonnets before, here's what they look like. So pretty!
The bluebonnets were so beautiful this year because we've had a ton of rain! But that also means there was lots of mud. It was also very windy the day we went. Didn't make for a wonderful photo shoot unfortunately.
Can you hear her giggling in that photo? What a silly girl. Anyways, I do love the strip of patchwork I added to the back....
My friend, Sandy, did the fabulous quilting for me (and very quickly, I might add! Thanks Sandy!)
It took some doing to get Miss Ally to give this quilt up....
I may have promised to make another one like it, for her. maybe.

That's a gorgeous quilt and looks like you had fun doing the photo shoot. Ally looks cosy wrapped in the quilt.
Love those Bluebonnet flowers, can see why you used the name for the quilt.
The quilting is amazing!
Very pretty and I love it with the bluebells! Fun photoshoot!

Beauty. What a thoughtful gift for your sister and BIL. And yes, I think Ally needs one of her own too. :)
