First Time


Even though it's spring...


...and almost Easter...


...we had a cold snap last night!


Temps were supposed to drop to near freezing.... but I had already taken the blankets off the bed.    So....  I spread my Jacob's Ladder quilt over the bed.... 


...and slept under a quilt for the first time in my life...


...I think I can get used to this!

  1. Ooooooh, you'll get totally used to it! The first time I slept under a quilt I made was just over a year or so ago. Can't imagine any other way now. Enjoy!!

  3. How exciting. I remember when I was visiting my son and I slept under a quilt that I had made for them-------it felt so good. Would you believe that I don't have a quilt on our bed, must do something about that.

  6. Well, it's about time, woman!! : )
    But isn't that how it goes? I had quilts from my Mom on my bed, but when someone asked to see something I had made one day, I realized I had given all those away!
    Glad you finally got to snuggle under a quilt!

  7. Good for you. I have yet to make one big enough to sleep under, but I sure enjoy snuggling up with the smaller ones to read a good book.

    Happy Easter.

  11. I agree - you have to have one of your quilts on your bed.

  12. It's the best way to get use from your quilts, I usually have at least one on the bed, when it gets colder I layer on another one, and I'm still working on the next layer so I have to use a blanket :)

  13. Such a wonderful post! You have been giving all your quilts away! That won't do. You must have 2 or 3 for yourself!

  14. No one who is even as young as five should never have had that experience! (How convoluted is that sentence?) I'm glad you slept under a quilt--and if it took that much unexpected cold to do it, it was worth it, wasn't it.
    There's an old belief that the first person (or first couple) to sleep under a new quilt will have good luck!

  15. I am working on getting my first queen sized quilt finished so I can sleep under something a little bigger than the 50" square my husband drapes over me at 5:30am when he leaves for work!
