Windy City Bound

Windy City Bound

Sometimes I wish my handmade quilts could talk. It’s not a sensible thought or even one that comes close to anthropomorphising my quilts, it’s more of a recognition of the adventure they are starting on.

That was the thought I had as I folded and boxed this Swirl Irish Chain handmade quilt. It’s headed to Chicago to be “in a production,” which isn’t saying much. Chicago is an established shooting location for a number of TV series and other shows.

As I looked at the design, a police show came to mind. Will this be on the protagonist’s bed or the final resting spot of some poor soul taken down by a criminal?

Maybe it will be in a heroine’s home and have a starring role as the actor is introduced at the beginning, and then again as the story is wrapped up at the end.

This is a sweet handmade quilt, a combination of the traditional Irish chain pattern with a detailed quilted swirl that gives the quilt an extra dimension.

This was the last of these handmade quilts in our inventory so wishing it a good journey.

If you see the quilt in a production, would you let me know? Fun to keep an eye out for it!
