Keeping warm on a cold rainy day

One day last year, my friend Leona posted some photos of a quilt she was making. As much as I love all of the quilts that she has made, this one somehow caught my eye. I liked the deep colors and the unique, yet simple, design.

On my birthday in September, Leona joined me and a few friends for lunch. She then told me that the quilt I had admired would be my birthday present. I was overwhelmed with the thought that she was making something so special for me, but also felt very excited.

Leona gave me the quilt a few weeks later, just as the weather was turning cold. It now has a place of honor on the futon in the living room, and we often bundle up in it when it is cold.


Sometimes Charlotte and Alexander like to cuddle up with the quilt while watching TV. But sometimes Charlotte is more interested in a cuddle than Alexander is!

Thank you, Leona!
