About this Product
DETAILS:
What a fun way to celebrate your love of nature! Show how much you appreciate our feathered friends with this handmade quilt filled with adorable sparrows ready to break into song. These cheery birds are created in bright, tropical colors of blue, pink, orange and yellow green and are sure to brighten any room.
Drape it over your sofa, ready to grab on chilly nights, or over a favorite chair to create a cozy nook. Fold it just so over a quilt ladder to add a focal point to your decor in any room. Place it in your guest bedroom to welcome friends and relatives. Fold it at the bottom of a bed to add a layer of warmth when needed.
The quilt is backed with a fun kaleidoscopic abstract print that compliments the joy of the front. It has been professionally quilted by a longarm quilter with a loopy design. The middle layer (batting) is a wonderful blend of bamboo, silk and cotton -- it is lightweight yet still cozy and breathable.

The quilt is a generous throw size of 64 X 69. If size is important, please measure your space to avoid disappointment.

Meet the Maker
It took me by storm . . .
The first time I saw racks and racks of quilting fabric, I thought, "I HAVE to get this into my life!"
If you love color and pattern, you know what I mean.
I bought a sewing machine and took a class. The next thing I knew, I was accumulating quilting tools and fabric at a rapid pace. After a few years, I knew it wasn't a passing fad and I decided to open an online shop.
I've never looked back. It's still a joy for me to select fabrics for a pattern, then press, cut and sew the pieces into something that will bring comfort and joy into someone's home.
So, please look around and share in my love for this art form!

How it’s Made
This quilt was made by me in my home studio and quilted by longarmer Meghan Morris. Premium quilting cotton was used, along with cotton and rayon threads.
The middle layer (the batting) is made of bamboo and silk -- I love using this because it's both natural and a bit lighter in weight than all cotton, though it provides the same level of comfort and breathability. It also has a beautiful drape.
Buying a handmade quilt is an investment because each one represents many hours of loving labor. As a handmade item, slight imperfections are inevitable. Things may not be perfectly squared up nor the stitches flawlessly straight. Even so, every one is unique. This is what makes them such a beautiful addition to any home.

FAQ'S
- Quilt care: Quilts are machine washable in cold water. A detailed page of care instructions will be included with your quilt order. Should you misplace it, I'm happy to send a copy via email.
- Pricing: A handmade quilt is a labor of love, which is why they become treasured family heirlooms. From choosing a pattern and fabrics to precise cutting and sewing, basting the three quilt layers together and then quilting and binding, it's an intense and time-consuming process. Prices for embroidered pillows vary according to how elaborate the design is: the more colors and elaborate the design, the longer it takes to plan and stitch out.
