Here we are again; we have the beginning of a new month, and the eleventh little quilt of the year is ready. Where has the time gone? It's cool enough now to need quilts on the bed, especially if you're like Teddy,
who seems to have a sore throat and fever. He drinks hot tea and then snuggles all the way up to his chin underneath the warm quilt.
I even made new flannel sheets and a pillowcase for his bed. Doesn't he look comfortable?
I made the quilt from a pattern in the book Liberated String Quilts, by Gwen Marston. I do my string piecing on a paper foundation, rather than cloth, since I hand quilt, and it means one less thickness of fabric to stitch through. I like the Scottie dog print for the backing; the quilt could be reversed if Teddy thinks baskets are for girl bears.
Enjoy,
Charlotte
Another great little string quilt...really like the Scottie dog print and the red binding. Lucky Teddy! Putting off the flannel sheets as long as possible; still have memories of last summer's heat!

Ah Teddy has the most wonderful caretaker to make him so comfortable. Beautiful work you do, such creativity and talent,you truly are blessed.
ReplyDeleteThe plantain brew, I asked someone that makes it. She said to use dried plantain or it would most likely mold, otherwise if you use fresh herb make sure it is totally dried of any excess water and to heat on super low to remove any moisture.
Love the quilt! So sorry that Teddy is feeling under the weather though. He and Kelsey both had a bad week, eh? Maybe he'll feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteSo cute, I love your hand quilting, bear looks so cozy.
ReplyDeleteSo cute and that big bear makes it look comfy!!

ReplyDeleteAw....Teddy looks so cozy. Hope he feels better soon!
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is so beautiful, Charlotte~ even the backing is so pretty too!
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid I know how Teddy feels today~ I'm fighting a cold and drinking hot tea... maybe I need to snuggle back up in bed under a cozy quilt and rest... *sigh*
