I Love Quilts.........



I love quilts.....even though, I am not a quilter.  I am a quilt collector.  There is nothing more comforting than a big cozy quilt.  I have them everywhere.......

I have them hanging on both my recliners.  Ready to snuggle up and watch TV.

On my bed for a warm cozy night of sleep....

Folded ...all colorful on a quilt ladder in my bedroom.........

More color and patterns on a quilt ladder in my living room.....


Folded and put on display in an antique china Cabinet.......

I find that if I am feeling lonely and sad...
I just wrap up in a quilt and things are not so bad............
 All the colors and patterns bring me good cheer.....
A work of art to decorate with all year.....
Any season, any time...
a quilt around me or beside me....is just fine!
On the wall or on the bed
 or as a piece of art...
A quilt is truly a masterpiece from the heart!

 take time to enjoy a quilt and to all the quilters out there...Thank you!
                                       
Blessing and have a joyous day!

Patty

  2. I agree with you whole heartedly! I love quilts! When my son was little each time he got a fever I naturally reached for a quilt, because it was warm but not too heavy to make him more hot. He began to call one of the quilts "the sick blanket". 12 years later we still have the sick blanket and use it when anyone is under the weather! So comforting!

  3. What beautiful quilts you have, Patty. quilts are such a necessary item from the past. when you think those were stitched by someone with love to keep their families warm it brings tears to your eyes. What a wonderful collection you have.

  6. Beautiful quilts, Patty. I have a quilt on my bed, but it is not homemade. I love the look of quilts, but simply cannot afford them. They do have such a feeling of warmth and love thou.

    Cheers,

  8. Oh Patty, this quilters heart is touched! I love quilts as well...when I make one I spend a lot of time in prayer for the person who will receive the quilt I am working on. To me a quilt is a great big hug from someone special.
    Take care friend.

  9. HI dear Patty,
    I'm so in awe of ANYONE who quilts...Nancy is quite the quilter as well and I just love when she posts about something she has created and now I get to follow yours as well. I wish I could truly be a quilter. I'm a novice sewer and love to but certainly not a quilter. Yours are so pretty and cozy looking.
    Thanks for stopping by and leaving me such sweet comments. Have a wonderful Tuesday!! ;0)
