aww thanks.....I have a quilt planned for her 5th wedding anniversary....hope to have all my other projects done so I have time to not only work on it but figure out how to make one large enuff for a King size bed in my small sewing room...lol...
I know one thing about the cold. No matter how cold The wind can blow and howl where your daughter is, it Simply can't compete with the warmth of her mother's quilt.
I do enjoy this time of yr for some of the same reasons however, the colder I get the more I hurt....so not fun to get cold, but I do love to snuggle under a quilt or afghan I made in front of a fireplace (my DD has one)...I do not...I stand in front of my gas range...lol...same warmth...not as nice to look at unless there is a pie in the oven....
This weekend I am really excited about the change of season. Unlike so many other people I have spoken to about this subject, I love the cold. I mean real cold. There is something amazing about the contrast between the cold and the warmth and light that can protect you in a safe place. At the same moment you can look outside and pull the shaw around you even tighter.
We turn off the heat and open all the windows to bring in the crisp air of autumn. But we close up again and put the heat back on after a while. But as high as you can set the forced hot air heat, there is nothing quite the same as the warmth of sitting in front of a wood burning stove (especially when the guy that lives across the street is a tree guy and gives the whole neighborhood all he free wood any of us could use). His family gets many home cooked delights in appreciation. I sit on this little stool I have had forever, right in front of that warm stove and read or do some hand sewing or quilting.
This weekend, the temperature change means all that warmth can return when we fire up that stove and listen to the wind howl against the windows that we really need to replace.
