Now that autumn is here...the cozy cottage needs to get more cozy...
so mommy brought out a vintage quilt to use in the sunroom...
of course...I needed to inspect it for quality...
it smells interesting and is very soft...
I am going to snuggle down into it to be sure....
I think it passes all the tests...
time for a bit of a trial nap....
the pattern is called Dresden Plate...it is a quilt that mommy found abandoned in a community laundry room many many years ago in Germany. It lay for weeks on the folding table...mommy posted a note in each stairwell describing the quilt asking the owner to come and claim it...no one ever did. She often wonders who handmade this beauty and why it was not treasured more. We treasure it and finally brought it out of the cedar chest after 25 years this season. We have decided that there is no time left for saving pretty things for 'someday'.....someday is finally here!
Thank you all for your treasured friendship...it helps get us through the rough times...mommy's ex is beginning to become more stable in the hospital...thank you for all your prayers, we know they help so much. Wishing you all a blessed October week ahead...make it a good one and be happy!

I am so glad you are using that beautiful quilt. It is true; the time for enjoying is NOW!
What a beautiful quilt! Never put off enjoying something so lovely - it is meant to be appreciated. Just like us kitties.
Happy Sunday to my Cozy Cottage friends. Indeed, now is the time to use all of your beautiful treasures. We use our "best" dishes every day. The quilt my grandmother made for me when I was 16 is on our bed. No matter that it is a little worn here and there.

Glad all is well and that your mommy decided to stop saving that beautiful quilt. Glad to hear the ex is doing better. As I have said before, your mommy is very kind to continue to care about him. That's not always the case in real life. Your mommy is very special!
