test drive

since last night was to be the coldest night of this season so far....temps hovering around 10 degrees...i added this to my 2 regular quilts.  yes, we do have heat in the apartment but i leave my window open a tiny bit because i like it a bit cooler when i sleep and the heat control is behind my elfa unit and difficult to access.  i actually folded this in half covering just the end of the bed.  happy to say i was quite toasty and not too warm.  once finished (january maybe?) it'll be a welcome addition to my regular bedding; until i get another quilt done that is.  ***** today's plans include more on the orca bay, some holiday errands and baking. a couple more days and i'll be done and can work on my various projects as desired.  still no snow.....great!

  1. I can't believe the speed at which you get something hand-quilted. I am waiting until after the holidays to put my "Tree of Life" quilt in the frame for hand quilting. I don't work on it every day and my back doesn't let me quilt for too long at one time, so I expect it to take at least all year--if not into the next. : )

  2. Your quilting really stands out on this quilt. What colour thread are you using?
