Twelve Quilts of Christmas 2021 – #12
Merry Christmas!
Exhibition Notes: “Having bought several pretty floral quilts from two elderly widowed sisters, Jen mentioned over Welsh cakes and tea how sad it was that so few of the wonderful flannel quilts of Wales still existed. A great deal of whispering and giggling ensued as she was ushered into the sisters’ bedroom. Confronted by a large double bed, they asked for her assistance to lift the huge mattress against the wall. This amazing work of art was revealed. Its job had been to protect the mattress from the box springs for over 25 years.”
To see this quilt in person is to understand completely it’s glow, the centre star shining even brighter than the rest.
I will leave you to dive into your own discovery of this quilt as I wish you and your family a wonderful and safe and healthy holiday season.
Thank you so much for joining me again this year. I can’t believe it’s my tenth Twelve Quilts of Christmas!

What a beautiful quilt, both piecing and quilting….and what an amazing story! So hard to imagine such lovely handwork could be taken for granted in such a way. So happy Jen is preserving it!
