little house, big smile

While we were growing up, my only sister loved the pioneer stories from Little House on the Prairie.
She read the books.
She watched the TV show.
She rode horses.

I didn't get it.

I was the mall shopping, wardrobe building, perfume loving, INDOOR sister.

When it came time to make my sister a quilt (because every sister needs one!), I decided to shelf my lack of connection to this era and make one in her favored Laura Ingalls style.

And now that it's finished ... true confessions ... I'd kind of like one myself.

This quilt makes me think of homemade apple pie, chickens in the yard, and stories by firelight.
All good things.

Maybe those pioneers had more to love about them than I gave credit for.
Thanks, sis.
