Lilies of the Valley

Every time I see my Lilies of the Valley I am reminded when a friend and her adult daughter, who grew up and lives in Germany, visited while they were in bloom some years back.  In German, they are called "Maiblumen," or May blooms.   I love that, I love their perfectly smooth seamless blossoms nodding gently in the breeze, I love how the leaves curl and wrap themselves around the blooms.  I love how in autumn the blooms become crimson and orange little fruits, a late season surprise.  

This quilt is being entered in several shows, but will be for sale and likely available by late 2019.  Please contact me if you are interested; I will take a deposit to hold it for you.
