First Florida Quilt!

My first "florida" quilt!  We live very close (too close even!) to Renninger's Antique and flea market.  It is one of the largest in the state.

I try not to go often as I am still in the process of organizing what I moved down here! But this one caught my husband's eye and while had my back turned he bought it...which is fine by me!

Not sure if it was a kit or a pattern.  The pink fabric is almost a sateen which makes me think this is circa 1920's.

The workmanship is excellent.  This is one of those quilts that looks best on a bed!  Recently I've just kept is folded over a chair in the spare bedroom.

Hello...it's me!

I know it has been awhile.  Lot has happened - the main part being I am now living in Florida!
Pineapple quilt given to me by my quilting buddies in Georgia!

It was tough leaving Georgia.  Lots of quilt friends there.  Slowly I am finding my own space here too.

I am living in central Florida not far from Orlando.  Lots of orange groves and cattle....yes, cattle!  It is very much a ranch and farm area.  It is also a very artsy little town.
