'If you sleep under a quilt, you sleep under love' - so the saying goes!I made this quilt for my Danielle, now 35 - she left home alone, travelled to the UK , Europe and the Caribbean when she was just 24. You can imagine with just a backpack, this quilt formed part of that luggage, sort of 'I've been everywhere'! This quilt travelled for 5 years, well worn, well loved and may more years left in its life.
Danielle married an Australian boy while in England, and she and Adrian came home to Australia to have their baby twins, Byron and Heidi, who I talk about frequently. She still cuddles up under this quilt on cold evenings - I stole it from her place yesterday, and she would have needed it last night - wet, chilly winter has set in!
Happy Sunday!
Gorgeous quilt and a lovely story to go with it! We had a strange few warm days of winter reprieve here this week, but it's winter again here too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a treasure Danielle has enjoyed all these years. I can imagine the memories attached to that special quilt!
ReplyDeleteYou stay dry and warm Lurline.
It's gorgeous Lurline,
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Danielle would have appreciated it on her travels...made with love, and helped keeping her close to your heart.
Sure was cold last night!

Its a beautiful quilt Lurline, and how fabulous to have formed its own story.
ReplyDeleteI really believe that saying is true and no wonder that quilt is just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWonderful quilt. Quilts have their own history don't they? If only some of our antique quilts could talk.
ReplyDeleteOh I do remember the quilt, I think I stippled the centre for you too.
ReplyDeleteYou better give her the quilt soon if it is cold, we too have a change in the weather.
cheers

Danielle would have many a memory to share with her lovely travel Quilt Lurline... such a beautiful Keepsake from her Mum.
ReplyDeleteThat quilt has soul. It's been everywhere, better travelled than I am!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to have something from home to comfort her during her travels. What wonderful memories she must have when she snuggles under it now.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful story about a beautiful quilt!
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is such a treasure and a wonderful story to go with it. She should print a little label about the story of where the quilt went and sew it on the back. The quilt is just beautiful.

Hey Lurline! What a wonderful way for your daughter to carry a little piece of home with her during her travels! I bet whenever she was wrapped in it, it felt like she was getting a big hug from you. Definitely blankie temperatures here, too - the flannel quilt has been my friend for the last couple of weeks of television viewing! :0) Bear Hugs! KRIS

ReplyDeleteBoy isn't this a beauty, Lurline. And the fact that it's been utilized and loved the way a quilt should be ~ well that is fantastic!
