Bring on the Chilly Weather
I will be snug under my down-filled comforter dressed in this new corduroy duvet cover.
I started working on it last winter. I was able to get the top pieced, but lost my motivation when I couldn’t decide whether to quilt it or turn it into a duvet cover. I also couldn’t decide what size to make it. So it sat in a closet for the whole hot summer. It is made from distressed corduroy scraps, left overs from a garment factory that was making pants. I added the satin ribbon randomly throughout the pattern. The corduroy looks so comfortable to me, but the ribbon adds just a little class.
As usual, I didn’t use any sort of pattern for this. I like the interest that comes from not being able to find a repeating pattern. I like to lay things out and move the fabric around until I come up with something that makes me smile. So far I have been very happy with this method even if it makes my mom crazy!
I also just realized that I have five (can you believe FIVE!) quilts to finish this fall. Two of them are nearing completion, so it isn’t as much as it seems. Working on quilts should help keep me toasty as the temperature drops around here.

Side Note: Does anyone know why my photos suck when I export them from iPhoto, but they look fabulous if I use Picasa on the man’s computer? It is enough to make me trade in my Mac for a PC. I never thought I cared before. I need more control!!! Maybe I have control issues…
