Having grown up in the suburbs just outside Chicago, I always dreamed of living “downtown.” I especially wanted to live in the trendy Lincoln Park area of the city. And in my early 20s, that’s what I did.
I loved living there among the beautiful row houses, with the park and zoo just a few blocks from my little studio apartment. Although I now live on the West Coast, the city of Chicago—with its historic and charming Lincoln Park—is my favorite place to visit, especially in the summertime. This quilt and pillow duo is my quilted tribute to my “sweet home” Chicago. Maybe it reminds you of a place near your sweet home.
