on my desk monday

They say when you're expecting, the "nesting instinct" comes on strong. Well, it's true in my case. Because even though it is 70 degrees, I am shopping for afghans and blankets. Which is why when this gift came in the mail, I was especially thrilled:


It's a beautiful, homemade quilt made by Winifred Weng (a friend made by her daughter, Charlotte's enjoyment of Year of the Dog).  There's a little inscription sewn in:



as well as a dragon quilted in it! In honor of Rain Dragon!


Isn't it gorgeous? I love the colors.  And if that wasn't enough, the cutest hedgehog was also included:



Wow! Thanks so much, Winifred and Charlotte!
