Grandma Park's Quilt

 Just over forty years ago Grandma Park made and presented this beautiful quilt to Allan and I for our wedding.  I loved red at the time, so the big red and pink flowers along with her lovingly hand quilted stitches has been a treasured item. 
 
We used it as our bedspread for many years, but eventually, it was replaced by several fancier styles.  They have all worn out or didn't fit our second-hand king size bed.   After tiring of a steel gray spread, I pulled out the old trusty quilt, which fit!  Notice the pink glow on the wall that says, Hey, welcome back!
The bright red leaves from our flowering pear trees out the bedroom windows make the cozy autumn reflection.   The rosy glow makes you feel Grandma Park is welcoming us with open arms upon entering the room.  Thank you Grandma.
