Slug A-bed

This little Princess and the Pea would be my Sophie, posing delicately while she catches a few zzzz's.

She has taken to climbing into bed with me after her morning walk with my husband and Ozzie.  After leaping onto me and licking my face thoroughly, she curls up against my tummy and we make like spoons for an hour or so before I have to get up and get ready for work.  I love these precious moments that give my every day a loving beginning.

Wondering about the quilt she is lolling on?  That would be Stella Blue, one of my all time favorite Miss Rosie's Quilt Company patterns.  This was a shameless copy of hers, right down to the same fabric she used.  She gave hers to her brother though, according to the pattern.  I kept mine for myself!

Trust me, you will be an expert at making Flying Geese if you tackle this pattern!

  1. Beautiful Quilt! I love it. I’m partial to stars. Nothing wrong with copying the same fabrics, it’s a great idea actually. Good for you keeping this quilt for yourself.

  2. Nicole, That darling picture looks like my bed every every morning, except both of mine have been there all night and they aren’t lying on a stunning quilt,(because I don’t have one for my bed yet) Your right about the love. It just oozes off the the sweet little things. I would be lost without my furry kids. Matter of fact, my little schnauzer Friskie has a problem. The vet said she’s okay for now but she has some tumors on her side and tummy that are starting to interfere with her breathing. They can’t remove them but they did give us some pills that help open up her airways at night and she seems to sleep more comfortably now. She doesn’t show any signs of suffering or pain…her appetite is good, maybe a little too good, she is happy and playful, and a fierce little guardian of ‘her’ territory out in the yard (she doesn’t bite, just makes lots of noise, lol). But for the last couple of mornings since her appointment I can’t help looking at them snuggled together against me and wonder how long there will be two there comforting me. My thoughts get away from me sometimes. Question for you though…does Ozzie ever lay on the bed too or does he get into mischief if he does?

  3. I too, am interested in what fabric line it is. Will you post a little bio on your beautiful quilt? I love that pattern. I have always been partial to sawtooth stars. Our two little kitties (monsters) love to snuggle in bed with us, but they pick at the stitches on my quilts, so we put the kabosh on that. Meaning, we removed the quilts from the bed. Heaven forbid we tell the cats they can’t get up there with us!

  4. The little princess absolutely defines the word comfy! I want to get in bed just looking at her…what a luxury! Very cute post. The quilt is gorgeous…really love the colors, the design, all of it just flows together so nicely. Beautiful. Both the quilt and the doggie.
