The one I've been working on for nine years. Completely hand pieced from muslin and commercially indigo dyed cotton, using the nine patch method.
I took it with me on all the trips that Ned and I have made over the last decade. Whether plane or car, I pieced it and then hand quilted it.
It nurtured me through the pandemic as I quilted it in its hoop.
In a way, it is a celebration.
I'm glad that I finished it this year - the year that Ned and I celebrate our 50 years of marriage.
It is also the year that the family cottage turns 100 years.

We slept under it for three nights to celebrate all those things.
It fits the Amish four poster bed that Ned made for the annex.

This cottage, with it's old wooden furniture and floors and crooked windows has a timeless quality.
