Waterlily

Just picked it up!

Those that know me, know that I love, love, love flowers! One of my favorite flowers is the waterlily. I put in 3 small fish ponds in my backyard & have flowers blooming all summer long. (Plus flowersbeds too & a herb garden & etc. ) but we are talking about waterplants now...So anyway, I love sitting out under the moonlight, listening to the night sounds by the ponds & enjoying the tropical night blooming flowers. Best way to relax after a hard day. (Also put in jacuzzi it's nice too lol) But back to quilt...

So in Jan. I went to visit my friend Annette (Nettie) at work & she showed me her latest project...

Close up

A waterlily quilt! She HANDMADE this quilt. How awesome is that? I instantly asked her what she was going to do with it. (as in - was it a wedding gift or promised to someone?) She crafts & makes all kinds of wonderful stuff, so you never know.

She does all this while working full time, taking care of a lg ranch & her family. (Stop it! Your making the rest of us look bad! WTF) anyway, She is Very, talented & always super busy like me. (Although I'm not sure what I'm busy doing most of the time!?)

The quilt is extra large king size & I really need to take it home to photograph it properly, lol. But you get the jest of it! Am so excited!

Love the Celtic knot like border work!

So anyway, I bought the quilt. But had to wait as she showed it in a quilt show & I just picked it up today. Super love it!

Now I'm going to redo my guest room around the quilt, I think. I don't have a "country" theme so this should be fun.
Off to shop-
