There is so much I love about this darling quilt, the bright colors, the scalloped edges, the tiny ric rac, the trees, and of course- the owls! The owls aren't a part of this quilt, but I desperately wanted them to be a part of mine!
Here is what I came up with...
My jewel of a mom happens to have a business doing Long Arm Quilting! (How lucky am I?) So I made the top and she quilted it for me! She really went to town on this; adding so much detail and character!
{grass & flowers}
{clouds}
{sun & wind}
{a sweet butterfly and field mouse hiding between the trees}
{a closer look at the owl}
{ric rac and scallops}
{more scallops and the back}
I have to say, I am thrilled with how it turned out! Pottery Barn, eat your heart out!
{p.s. if you are in need of someone to do the quilting on your projects my mom's business is called Quilted with Kerr (her name is Kerry-- how clever is she? ;) ) and she can be reached at (480) 861-1431. She is located in AZ but will accept projects from any state!}

Tara that is AWESOME!!! I really need to get my sewing machine out!
Looks great! I was inspired by the same "Brooke" bedding. I'll have to share my version soon! Great job!
So cute! I'm so jealous of your sewing skills Tar. I wish I could sew! It really is a fear of mine. I've spent too long with a seam ripper and don't want to see one at work again in a long time =)!! I'll stick with mod podge =)!
This is beautiful! You did a fantastic job. I'm so glad you linked up to Home and Family Friday. I hope you'll be back next week too! I'm following your blog now. I hope to keep seeing great projects. (Love your header too!)

Super cute! I also happen to love that PB quilt...it makes me want to redo my daughter's room. How lucky are you to have a long arm quilter in the family?? Awesome!

I worked at PBK for A while and almost used my 40% discount to buy that quilt because I loved it so much. Now I know I can make a much cuter one :)
WOW that is beautiful!!! It looks so great!
That quilt is amazing! Lovely!
Thanks for linking up to the Mad Skills party!
This project was one of my favorites from last week's Mad Skills party, so I will be featuring it tomorrow morning!
This project is fantastic - your mother is great. You are both very talented.
That is absolutely stunning! Good job to you both!
