My Bedspread

Earlier, I posted about a bedspread that my Mom-Mom made for me which featured quilted scenes from my favorite books that we used to read together. I thought it would be fun to share each one because they are all so beautifully crafted.

Winnie-the-Pooh

Peter Rabbit, caught in Mr. MacGregor's garden

I don't really remember this. I remember that there was a book about a doggie who wore a bandage, but was he hurt? Blind? Related to Bret Michaels? I have no idea. When I saw this one (prominently displayed in the middle of the quilt), I got a flash of a memory of Mom-Mom reading this book and of her enjoying reading it to me... but the same flash made me think that I had feigned interest in it because she liked it so much. I'm thinking that maybe the dog WAS hurt and that's why I was lukewarm for the story. But, my memory may be failing me on this one.

The Wombles

No idea on this one. A flash of a book with this ghost, but only a flash.

This is from the Grover book from when Grover is trying to hide, but he can't and he asks the reader to just SAY he was hidden so he can win hide and seek. This book was in the same box as the bedspread, so Chloe and I have been reading it. She sort of gets that she's supposed to say she doesn't see Grover, but not really.

Clearly, this was a book about ducks. Or the ocean. Or Noah's Ark. I've got nothing.

I think we all know this one! The Very Hungry Caterpillar

I *loved* this book. And after searching Amazon, I found that it was called Mousekin's Golden House. Sadly, out of print. :-(

Snoopy & Woodstock

I vaguely remember this... another Mousekin book? (There was a series.) Or Santa Mouse?

I've got nothing on this one. Nada.

Isn't this hella cool? I should learn to quilt.
