I like a nice 'n tidy house but as I walked downstairs this morning I couldn't help but feel proud of the 'mess'. These photos show exactly what I found...quilts everywhere! Not nicely folded or hanging on the quilt rack, but heaped in a cozy, nested lump where the user left them. Obviously they have been cuddled and snuggled under while my loved ones were either watching tv, reading, or working on a laptop.
I love that my quilts are functional but I also know, eventually, they will be cherished because I made them especially for the recipient. My days have been so full and I am well aware that I haven't sewn since early summer. I think the fall should be less busy with more time to spend on crafting. I am really close to clearing off my table and starting a new project. I think it has to be the Color Crystals quilt from the Midnight Quilt Show. I bought the fabric in April and have yet to even open the package. It's a king size quilt so it will take me all winter (and beyond) to get that top sewn. I'm getting excited just writing this and thinking about getting back to making the quilts I love for the people I love!
Heck, even the dog has several of his own quilts on his various pillows and he loves them too! Seriously, he doesn't get 'into' his bed at night until I straighten out his cat quilt. After he lies down we then have to tuck him in under another baby quilt! It's pretty cute (sad, but cute).
What a sweet post! Thank you:)
