Quilty Fun

Voila! My quilt is completed and hanging on the den wall.




What visual interest it adds to a long, barren area. The quilts in the chair were made by my husband's mother and grandmother - treasures for sure.




I sewed along with Lori Holt at Bee in my Bonnet here. You simply must visit her to see the quilts she makes - and her home decor is amazing, too.


The mittens are perfect for February, although I must admit we're having very mild weather in Virginia.



Hubby and I sip hot chocolate most evenings in spite of the mild weather. We also sit by the gas fireplace and read. Cozy, it's all about cozy in this house.



Hope you enjoyed seeing my quilt. Did I mention it took a year to complete - wow, it really stretched my quilting skills. Which was a good thing.

Don't forget to visit Lori!

  1. Hi Mary! Oh, I love love love your sweet wall quilt! It really tells a story too. You've started blogging again? Oh, I'm so glad. I've added you to my blogs so I will get your new posts! Thanks for popping in and I have been crocheting my head off the last few weeks. Had a little procedure done and had to lay low for awhile and couldn't just sit still, so out came the hooks and yarn! Hope you and your family are doing well.
