    I finally received my beautiful, gorgeous work of Barnbum art!! It is so absolutely beautiful words cannot express!! Here it is on my bed. See, Karla, no cats allowed!! It goes really well with my Paris painting. Even though the painting is Paris in Autumn/Winter, and the quilt is April in Paris, which I personally have experienced, and it's everything and more than the songs say. And the quilt is a perfect reflection of that. So that is its new name: April in Paris!!

    And Karla, I just laughed out loud when I saw the fabric on the back. I had just been looking for yardage of that exact same fabric!! Sadly, it's no longer available. But now I have it!! LOL

    Mom wants to hang it in the living room over the couch, and I think that's a good idea too!

    Eat your hearts out, Y'all!! :P
