Quilt Wars

Bob and I have been having quilt wars.  

We have had a rather heavy comforter on our bed.  

When I saw it I fell in love with it.

Ordered the Valance and curtains too.  

Since I am menopausal, I have almost all my hot flashes at night.

You can set them like clockwork.

I am almost always having one between 3 and 3:30 am. 

With that big heavy quilt, I was roasting.  

I would push the quilt down on my side and throw a leg out.

I would wake up again, too cold.

Bob would pull the quilt back up too during the night....more cooking.

I would fold the heavy quilt all on Bob's side since he's cold.

I tried the blanket one night but was too cold.

   About a week ago, I found a little quilted throw my mom made for my son and appropriated that.

I was perfect but, now Bob is too hot.

Went shopping with the stitching group and stopped at Kohl's Department store to look at a new quilt.

I promised Bob he would not have to repaint the room.  

I like the color.

I found a Chaps quilt, light weight, a bronzy gold color that sort of goes with the shams and curtains.

These are the old shams. 

I did buy matching shams but, not sure if I like them as much as the old ones. 

So here is the general idea.  

I think we both like the weight of the new quilt.

Tried it last night and I think we were both happy.  

I still had a little hot flash but, not anywhere near what I was experiencing.  

I think this may be a keeper.  

 I finished all the Shepherd's Bush Valentine Trifles.  

I just now need to "finish" them.

That will probably be a next weekend project.

Sorry it is a little blurry.  

 I showed you the Be My Valentine on the last entry.  

 These are very cute, very fun and very quick.  

Gotta like that!

 I will be starting the Drawn Thread Easter Jumble tonight.

I got the NPS from 123 Stitch yesterday. 

I didn't need too many colors so, I splurged. 

I'm now good to go.

I will be using 28 count Antique White linen.

I love these colors.

They are gorgeous.

On our travels yesterday with the Stitching Group, we stopped at a quilt store.

I picked up some fat quarters for finishing projects.

We also stopped at the Bee and I got a couple of new PS patterns.  

I'll show those on the next installment.  

Hope you had a great weekend.

Thanks for the great comments and for stopping by.

Keep on Stitching
