Most readers here already know how much I love
quilts. It is a passion. I make quilts, collect quilts, teach quilting,
and study quilts, I can’t get enough.
But one thing until just recently I have never done with a quilt. Sleep under one on my bed. Why you ask.
DH likes to sleep under the down comforter when it is cold. So our bed
has always just had a top sheet and the down comforter. I do have to say the
comforter has a cover that I made from the Fons and Porter pheasant reproduction
fabric. I made a quilt for our king size bed about 15 years ago. It somehow ended up on the guest bedroom king
size bed. Then when I did get a quilt
made for that bed, about 3 years ago, the one I had made for my bed got folded
and put on a shelf. Lately the down comforter has been too hot, and the sheet
not enough. So I got out the quilt and
put it on the bed. I feel so silly and stupid for what I have been missing. It feels so heavenly, just the right weight and warmth. I am sleeping so good, why didn't I do this a long time ago? Photos of a few of my antique pink and brown quilts.
I love pink and brown, made this basket quilt 2004.
