It had been a while since I'd made a quilt as a gift for my Mom,
so when I attended the One Stop Shop Hop (in Dayton, Ohio) last October and saw a shop sample made with Chickadee fabric, I immediately knew it would be perfect for my mother.
I purchased the kit mid-October, I stitched it together at a retreat mid-November, quilted it after Thanksgiving, and mailed it on it's way to arrive for Christmas!

The coloring is a little off, but I do like the finish. And, she absolutely LOVED it!
For inquiring minds: the fabric line was called Chickadees and Berries,
and I purchased the kit from Creative Fires Quilt & Stove Shop, Springfield, Ohio.
Absolutely gorgeous! Here is yet another thing we have in common. My mother would adore this one as well! Curious about the ring on your finger. Is it a type of thimble? Knowing me, it is a new kind trend that I am totally unaware of!
