Wife's Second Quilt

[BGKYSmoker]

She made me a quilt. One side is bread making things and the other side is cryptids.
I was snoozin.

Dang that’s pretty sweet. Nice work!

 

[mosparky]

Dang that's cool !
What a couple you make, not many people bake their own bread these days (a few dabble and quit very few embrace it as a way of life)
Even fewer attempt quilting. Only a few of them tackle anything beyond a baby quilt.
That looks like a project she can be proud of, right there.
Did she use polyester batting or cotton ?
That might have been a stupid question as I don't even know if cotton batting is still available.
I had 2 cotton ones that my grandmother made, but lost them in a fire 35 years ago. Those were the warmest I ever had to this day and heavy too. The original weighted blanket,

Very cool! We are missing these hand crafted items in our society generally. Labor/love. You cannot replace that.

Looks warm and comfy!
Nice jobs by the Missus.

My MiL makes them several times a year for wedding gifts, baby showers and housewarming gifts.
My wife has given it a go, but she'd rather knit and crochet.

Mrs Okie is on a quilting retreat right now. Spends up to two weeks with her quilting clatch twice a year.

Its quilting 24/7 with her, if she's not in her sewing room , she's watching YT vids on quilting.

Very cool, looks comfy! Not gonna lie I had to Google cryptids.

 

[BGKYSmoker]

Thanks y'all

She uses cotton batting. Her quilter friend said this was the best one.

I have two quilts. One from my Great Grandmother, and another from Grandmother. I've seen what it takes to make one during a Quilt festival when I lived in Bell Buckle, TN. Needless to say, I'm stealing your wife! Tell her I make dang good cornbread! JK! That's a VERY nice quilt she made. Nappy time!
