The Chattering Crow: My sister's living room

My sister's living room

I think this is such a charming setting. Marilyn always puts a room together just right. All the sisters are enamored with red, checks, cows, Holland, plants, wood floors, vintage lace and black and white photos. And, happily, with each other.

WHAT!?? A cow AND a quilt?? Now that's just my kind of person! I love cows and am a quilter and have many a quilt with a cow on it. I am currently making a quilt showcasing my cow, flamingo and poodle collection!! So cool.
