My Favorite Quilt

Hi Alissa,

Thanks, adding a quilt to a bed is the easiest way to update the look of a room and I should have one of the best-dressed bedrooms around!

I do have several favorite handmade quilts depending on the season. And sometimes my mood at the time. A bright quilt can lift my spirits and a fun quilt can match my mood at the time.

Right now the handmade quilt on my bed is Bees in Garden quilt. This is a busy time for beekeepers so the quilt reminds me of the industrious girls outside working my garden.

I’ve also put this handmade quilt on my bed in the middle of winter to warm up my bedroom and remind me of the warmer days ahead.

The quilt model, by the way, is one of two rescues I found abandoned on a county road Memorial Day weekend 2020 when I was catching a bee swarm. The bees didn’t stay but the cats did!
