A Host of Daffodils......And A Quilt Finish♡

Good morning lovely lovelies, lovely friends♡ A lovely welcome to my little springtime place where a host of daffodils are dancing in the spring sunshine♡ Gotta love happy daffodils♡

Yes indeedy, my garden......and all the gardens in this rural paradise have exploded with a host of daffodils, jonquils and snowdrops. So, so pretty; and the scents?? In a word; divine! My home is beginning to take on the appearance of  a florist again. And. I'm beside myself with great joy about that.

I have a quilt finish♡ The Fusion quilt dancing in Tilda and floral fabrics, with crochet skipping around and around is finished, and has been gifted. I don't know if I mentioned that this pretty quilt isn't for me. No?? This pretty is for a very dear friend whose husband passed away a couple of months ago.

I wanted to wrap my friend with love and kindness, where each stitch, both sewn and crocheted, is imbued with beautiful thoughts and sweet memories of the many  times Pete and I enjoyed my friend and her husband's company.

My friend's husband was a raconteur with the best stories of his adventures, and misadventures throughout his life. Oh, the stories! The seemingly improbable but true stories he chronicled. It was always a delight to sit and converse, to laugh hysterically at his many stranger than fiction  yarns. He lived a life bigger than Ben Hur. Many a lunch slipped into dinner when the convivial and companionable conversations seemed to have no end. Hopefully, this quilt will embrace my friend with love and beautiful memories, and when she's feeling sad or a little how's your mother, this quilt will envelope her with the warmest of hugs♡

To finish off the crochet edging skipping around the quilt I was going to crochet a fancy schmancy row but I decided upon scalloped chain stitches. I feel the simplicity of fine scallops dancing around and around is more pleasing. As always my motto of  keep-it-simple-stupid reigns supreme. =)

The fashioning of my friend's quilt can be seen here,  here, here, and here if perhaps your interest is piqued with my process of this fusion quilt. This was the first time I've played with a fusion quilt, and I must say I want to fashion another, for me. I would love a fusion quilt added to the mix of my other pretties, here at my little place. A quilt dancing with a plethora of different fabrics, both on  the front and the back. Scrappy, scrappy scrappy! Love, love, love!

The quilt has been gifted to my friend and she loves it. We were born in the same month, in the same year. We are kindred spirits in many ways, but one of the many threads that weave our friendship together is our floral addiction. She adores flowers as much as I. Indeed, she dances with myriad of flowers swirling and swirling around her in floralicious delight; as do I. My wish is that her fusion quilt wraps her in love and friendship, sprinkling many a smile into her days. Those good days. And, those not so good days.

May your day be sprinkled with many a hug and much love. Perhaps, dance with a friend among the daffodils.......or perhaps, among the carpet of autumn leaves♡

Until the next time..........
