For many of you, you've seen this project in various stages of completion. Well, last weekend, I FINALLY finished it completely. I used some of my fruit ladies in the border and also tried out the new embellishing stuff I picked up at the quilt show a couple of weeks ago. Now it get's to "age" in my room until DSis comes to visit in June. Now, off to work on my row round robin!

Sunburn and all? DD and I had a laughing fit when we decided to give the redhead a sunburn, even with her carrying the lotion... :lol:

I just bought that pattern! A group of friends keep saying we are going to find the time to go to FL together to stay at our condo. I want to have this done - it's amazing how much like the 4 of us these ladies look... not saying which one I'd be.

I also have the fruit bottom ladies. I'm taking it w/ me to the retreat I am going to this weekend to go into a top.

Thanks for sharing; you did a great job.

mamatobugboo 03-10-2009 06:06 PM

That is so cute and funny. I think we can all find ourselves there someplace.

yes that is me sunburn and all :roll: I really am a redhead, I really don't burn to much unless I am close to water then watch out. Was burnt so bad in my 20's I ended up in the hospital. I fell asleep on the beach and think maybe my first husband (now x-husband) was trying to do me in, he didn't wake me until I was baked to a crisp :evil: My second husband is a real sweetie :D

Marcia 03-15-2009 05:12 AM

Lori--this is an adorable quilt!! You MUST enter it in a quilt show--I know you would get the viewer's choice award!!

Isn't it fun to make something like this where you can let your imagination just go wild????
