My treasured quilts

Hello everyone! Today i wanted to share with you my collection of treasured quilts that are in my cedar chest. Most of these quilts have huge sentimental value to me. They are all handmade with lots of love. Here are four of the quilts that i own... This first quilt is very old. It comes from an antique store. This quilt is queen size and very light weight. It is the perfect cover for hot summer nights. I love the colours and pattern.

The middle quilt pictured here was made for me by a dear friend of mine. For ten years

we lived beside an elderly widow who made beautiful quilts. She and i became very close..

my son came to think of her as another Grandma. This was a gift for my husband and i for

always helping her out being that she was alone. The quilt is on our bed throughout the winter

months. It takes the chill off on those damp nights.

This quilt is a crib quilt. She made this for my son. Don't you love the kitties and the colour pink? You are probably wondering why in the world she made my son a pink girlie quilt!

When i went for my last ultrasound when i was pregnant they told me i was having a girl!

So my neighbour the whole time i was expecting worked on this pretty piece. After i had my "boy" she brought the quilt over with a matching pillow and said "You told me you were going to be having a girl!"

Well i had a few girl things with me at the hospital waiting for baby... and one of the things were these adorable baby shoes..

I have kept the shoes because Sam loves to hear the story about how he was supposed

to be a girl. His favourite part of the story is when he was delivered and the doctor announced it's a boy! After that the nurse said to me "Pamela i wish you could have seen your husband's face when the doctor said "it's a boy!" His jaw just hit the ground!

So these shoes hold fun memories for Sam to pass onto his kids...

This last quilt my neighbour made for Sam. It's a lap quilt...perfect for when he watches television. These quilts all hold wonderful memories for me.

I'm joining the party over at The House in the roses for Show off your Cottage Monday!

Thanks for visiting!
