A while back I heard Mr. Husband
mention that his parents had
given him a quilt to celebrate his
long years of scholastic achievement and completion.
That this quilt was made by the Amish in Wisconsin
and was subtle,
a trompe l'oeil ... you either see it all or
see nothing but a blue sheet...perhaps
seeing that is a quilted blue blanket...
Subtle it is but sublime in it's
beauty, wreathed with many flowers!
A beautiful boarder.
A Stunning Centre.
A beautiful thing for a Bridge of now
two years to discover in her husband's possessions
newly unearthed!
The artistry, the detail and design is first rate.
A lovely bedspread for winter time,
and my beloved husband's favourite colour.
I am so glad to be married to my
beloved husband and make
a beautiful home for him!

Finding this most thoughtful gift
from his parents was just delightful!
What a treasure!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! A lot like the Welsh wholecloth quilts. I'd like to make one one of these days (http://fabadashery.blogspot.ca/2013/10/welsh-wholecloth-quilts-welsh-quilt.html)
ReplyDeleteYes, Elizabeth, that's what I think!
ReplyDeletePaula, wow, that's really neat! thanks for sharing that link!!
Elizabeth,
ReplyDeleteMr Husband had that beautiful quilt all that time and didn't tell you?! Is he hiding any other treasures!
Paula - thanks for the link. Wow!!! I think I found my new beautiful objet d'art to covet (cause I wasn't coveting enough as it is. Thanks for the aid to growing in sanctity)
Wow
ReplyDeleteThat quilt is just divine! The amount of work is staggering! I can't believe hubby forgot to mention it for so long. ;)
ReplyDeleteAgreed. I think Elizabeth has the right to nurse a grudge over this until Forgiveness Sunday
DeleteNancy, That is so funny! I told my husband about holding the grudge until forgiveness Sunday and now we are using it as our latest joke :)))) you're the best :)
ReplyDeleteNow you just HAVE to start a blog to show us all your treasures!
How lovely!
