I grew up in Orlando, Florida on a little dead end street named Baylarian Boulevard. 

fam 60's

This quilt reminds me so much of Christmases at home on Baylarian Boulevard growing up!! It will be a favorite quilt for me!!

  3. Love your quilt! I was lucky enough to win a quilt called a Christmas mix tape from Feisty Eily in a giveaway. I love it! I have already pulled it out and have it on my bed. My cat Kalli loves to snuggle under it too! http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4147/5199691421_7cac77e4de_z.jpg

  4. It looks fabulous and I love the name you gave it.

    I have a Christmas Cactus quilt that I am so fond of - the fabrics, the pattern and the quilting.

  8. I do have a Christmas quilt but it is coming out in a book so I have to be a little quiet about it. BUT I love your puppy, can you tell us a little about him? I am looking around to find me a sweet little dog just like him! THANKS!

  9. There's that sweetie Yogi again. He shows off your quilts so well. I made a Christmas quilt 25 years ago back when I was quite new at quilting. Bob gets it out each December and always says it is his favorite. He had gifted me with a quilting frame the Christmas before. I hand quilted at time they are ever so much nicer than machine quilts I should photograph it before it wears out.
