Custom quilts made just for ME!
I received two *very fun* quilts in the mail
from a creative, talented Etsy seller:
Linda of Frog Blossoms!
I found Linda via Pinterest -
she's such a nice person and so talented!
Here's a quote from her store's bio:
"Why FrogBlossoms? My dad loved making ceramics.
He was never one to make just one of anything -- he made everything by the dozens.
One of his favorites was a frog-shaped planter.
The frog had raised flowers all over it that he painted in a rainbow of colors.
Everyone loved those Frog Blossom planters."
How sweet! She dedicates her store to Daddy :)
It seems like today's fabrics are so wonderful,
whole-cloth quilts are more popular than ever!
And although Linda's quilts (among many other talents)
are mainly throw-sized or baby-sized,
she was willing to go the extra mile for me,
and make 2 custom sized (over-sized!) throws :)
Look how they arrived in the box -
she even tied lovely ribbon around them :)
She said to hurry up and wash them,
because they get more puckery every time!
And they do! I love them both so much!
So does Luna :)
Luna loves any and All Things Cozy!
She had to try both quilts to decide on a favorite!
In the end, Luna decided on this one, hehe :)
Here is more *fun* information about Linda:
She has had such a full, interesting life!
She has lived all over the world and the U.S.
Her enthusiasm for life and learning is contagious!
At the age of 53 she even decided to complete
her Bachelor's degree - AND a Master's degree!
She raised 2 wonderful kids whom she adores :)
She loves quilting, drawing, painting, sewing,
photography, music, ceramics, and...
the antics of her golden retriever Albert :)
But wait! There's more! Much more!
Linda has been a creative machine lately!
She's come up with all kinds of fantastic ideas!
Like the Save the Planet Bottle Strap, above!
Go on your walk - or anywhere - unencumbered.
You've got a bottle strap, key ring, and pouch -
so all your important things stay with you!
How adorable are these?!
And how FUN is this set?!
She makes these in all kinds of great fabrics!
Aren't all of Linda's creations darling ideas?!
She has even more expertly sewn creations
waiting for you in her Etsy store...
*sweet* baby dolls, puppy & bear stuffed animals,
cute fleece softie/blankie sets, mini owl key chains,
happy boy and girl dolls, ballerina & mermaid dolls,
even Matryoshka Nesting Dolls! AND THE LIST GOES ON!
Linda, you're totally awesome!
Thank you so much, Megan. You are so generous to go to all of this work for me. I don't know if I told you that you were my very first etsy customer, and I was totally shocked that someone found my little shop among the gazillions out there!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait until you open your shop again -- keep us posted.
