The holidays are a lot fun. But I love to celebrate the Winter Solstice. At last, the days will be getting longer. Here's to visions of the coming spring!
I made this quilt a few years ago with inspiration from the cover of Georgia Quilts by Anita Zeleski Weinraub. The original quilt was made by Annie Parham Howard in 1960.

This is such a lovely tribute to spring! Fantastic colors and beautiful quilting. Just the best way to brighten up Winter Solstice...
Maybe 2011 will bring me some tulips?

Grazia :)
I've had this quilt sketched out for ages but like so many it lingers on my inspiration-board (a bulletin board in my sewing room that is so stacked with inspiration that I can't see anything on it!)
Happy Solstice indeed and a full moon to boot. Hasn't happened in over 450 years.
Fun to see this whole quilt - thanks.
This is one of my favourite quilts of yours, I just love it.
This quilt is awsome! I love the bright red!
What a super quilt! I've seen the pattern before, but you have made the best use of it, for sure
One of my favorites! I was just commenting to someone how reading your blog has given me a new appreciation for RED!
