Ok, my insanity now is over. It’s time for serenity later.

| A Vintage Christmas, 68″ by 88″ |
Before there was pinterest, there was me, clipping out photos from magazines. One such photo was of two cute golden retriever puppy dogs sleeping piled upon each other on a bed decorated for Christmas. And under the puppies was something that drew my eye even more – a crisp red and white quilt. (Does that make me a cold person? Quilts over puppies? Shoves puppies off bed and gasps at quilted treasure! Am pure evil, no? )
In any case, I clipped the picture and saved it in my pile, otherwise known as a quilty bucket list.
So, my friend Mandy posted on Facebook that she was looking for a Christmas blanket or quilt to use for her Christmas photography sessions. Long story short, I badgered her into letting me make her *the perfect quilt*.

Here’s me being artsy. Or… forcing my husband to watch all four kids and take a picture with his phone of me holding the quilt up against the Houston downtown sky.
And by the way she loves it! Yah!
I absolutely, totally love it! (And I love the shot against the skyline too!) Once I have pics edited I'll send you some you can add to the post if you wanna. 🙂
So gorgeous! I love your photos too!!
Beautiful! Worth every cross-eyed moment! BTW, "cold" is NOT an adjective I would ever use to describe you!
It's wonderful – well done! Love the little wooden church with its modern backdrop.
I absolutely adore red and white quilts. There's something…crisp about them. So pretty!
Wow. And yes, def shove off the puppies, they could damage the quilts!
Gorgeous!! Too funny about the puppies!
We must have been separated at birth, because I was "pinning" things long before there was pinterest. I've still got sketch books full of the pictures I clipped from magazines of dreamy bedrooms and kitchens.
LOVE your quilt, but then I love red and white in general. I can't wait to get my Christmas quilts out for some holiday photo shoots. Well done.
that quilt is gorgeous!! i'd love to do a red and white quilt and i have a section of my stash set aside…for someday 🙂 but your interpretation in solids is really amazing.
Who wouldn't love this amazing quilt?!
It's beautiful. I'm not surprised it was added to your bucket list. I love a classic twocolour quilt
i love the ocean waves pattern! looks fantastic!
This is a great post, very interesting points and I have enjoyed immeasurably. Lots of thanks!
