What is This I See?
What is this from yonder bedroom window I see?
Well, it's finally the sun! We had a few hours of sun today followed by a downpour at 2:00! So I grabbed the camera and snapped some pictures of my most recent finish. This quilt is made entirely of Amy Butler fabrics that I had for a while. It's a brighter palette than I usually use but I love it and it's bright colors have been a lift to my mood these dark days we have had since the beginning of June here in NH. I am calling it "No Summer for You!" but more on that later.
My quilter did a wonderful job choosing a flower design that echoes some of the fabrics. And it's actually been cool enough at night to want a quilt on the bed. Very unusual for July for sure.
They say Sunday will be a nicer day so I am looking forward to that. I hope the rest of you have a great holiday weekend.Update 7/4/09; I forgot to let you know the name of the quilt. I always name my quilts, usually some silly name. My sister gives her quilts names based on a song but I usually just use whatever pops into my head at the time so here is how this one came about. As I was e-mailing Karen Dianne one evening and wondering why she wasn't resting or at least watching Seinfeld like I was, the name of the quilt popped into my head. It is "No Summer for You"!! You know, like "No soup for you". I watch way too much Seinfeld!
Oh that is so pretty. Amy Butler fabrics make me smile & feel happy. It looks wonderful on your bed.
ReplyDeleteI love your bright and cheery quilt. The flower quilting design is really nice!!! Lucky you having some rain....down in Texas we are burning up and everything is so dry! Thanks for sharing your inspiration.

What a lovely quilt you created here. It's a great finish! Perfect for the summer break, too. (thinking back to the first choice) Happy you have the sun out and I agree, that floral quilting design is a beauty.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is gorgeous, I love the fabrics. I kind of wish we had some of your rain, it's over 100 here and the air conditioning at the mall is not keeping up with the heat - I never felt shopping was sweaty torture till today. But I did find white shorts, so sweat or not, it was worth it in the end. Hope you have sunshine soon!!
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th Chis!! I hope you get some sunshine. Your quilt is beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt - I just love the colors of the fabrics and how they all play together.
ReplyDeletewow love the quilt! and it IS perfect for a summer day. I have been having rainy days here but loving it...the gardens are happy and my pool is staying full..LOL
ReplyDeleteWow, SUN!!! That means I have to mow the lawn that hasn't been mowed since last Sunday when I last saw the sun. And all this rain is making it too long...it will look like a bad haircut. The quilt is beautiful though, Carter and I had a fun time inspecting it Thursday.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you named this quilt!! That is just the way I name mine, I try to find something relevant to the time or place, or the recipient. Very nice, & love the quilting too.
ReplyDeleteSurely summer is coming to you now . . . . that sunshine looks so pretty on your quilt *s*
ReplyDeleteLove Amy Butler fabrics! Beautiful quilt!
