The last Saturday in February, sitting on the sofa with the sun streaming in through the window, stitching a quilt for a princess . . .
. . . listening to her dulcet tones as she rehearses a song of angels . . . and wondering (slightly tearfully) where on earth such a voice came from.

Lol, hope they're not tears of pain!
Well the quilt certainly looks fit for a princess, it's beautiful! :)

Pomona, that is a very pretty quilt indeed! Are you feeling better now winter is almost done and dusted? Can you feel spring pulling at your shoelaces? You do wear shoes with shoe laces right?
I felt just as emotional by my 8 year old son's guitar playing yesterday and by the fact his teacher said he was a very musical boy. Sigh.
Can I shyly tell you I am having a giveaway? You may know this already and you may also be suffering from giveaway indigestion. In case you are not... can and check my goods out!!!

Lovely quilt. My brother was told years ago at school that he had a lovely singing voice. Since the rest of us can barely sing and my mother is tone deaf we were similarly puzzled as to where he got it from.
Pomona, that quilt is a true beauty, and somehow, I do think that you might have some role in creating that Princess's voice?

What a beautiful and cheerful quilt - highly fitting for an angelic-voiced Princess.
Hope the teeth are doing well.
ha! when people have (infrequently) said that about me, I always thought they said DORSET tones!
Your quilt looks so delightful, Pomona! I love the colours and the fabrics you put together. It does look like a quilt for a princess.
Have a happy Sunday.

What a precious post! (and lovely quilt). I too am amazed quite often and talents that my girls have. In many ways I live through them...experiencing things I only dreamed of as a child.
There are so many moments in our child's life that bring us to tears.
Those of joy and wonder are to be cherished forever. Just like that sweet quilt you have made for the Princess.

Awww, you are a lucky mommy indeed! And the quilt is beautiful.
She is a lucky princess to have such a beautiful quilt, and to have such a wonderful mum to listen to her. Juliex
Looks so pretty and feminine.
Beautiful fabrics, I bet a certain Princess is getting excited and probably hoping the singing encourages the sewing to speed along!
The quilt looks scrummy...I wish I was a princess! I wish Hector dog was as clever as yours. He would most likely piddle on them or throw the bowl into the air as if it were a small furry creature. Dev x
Saturday was particularly beautiful weatherwise, wasn't it? What a stunning piece of work that quilt is......... definitely worthy of a princess with a lovely singing voice!
Oh my, that quilt is looking so beautiful!
Beautiful quilt, beautiful post, I can feel the calm.
Oh, Pomona, that quilt is definitely for a princess! It's so pretty.
What a truly lovely post, Pomona. I feel serene just reading it.
Beautiful quilt, I love the colours and design.
You must feel so proud of your daughter.

Hello from NYC to you, Pomona. I miss seeing new posts from you and hope that you are well. (I imagine that this might be the beginning of your busiest season....)

Gorgeous quilt!! Fliss xxx
Princess's quilt really making progress I see. Sitting in the sun - that was a fond memory. More like paddling through the puddles now.
Hope all is well, Pomona. Sending you sunny hello's and wishes for a Happy Mother's Day!
Fabulous quilt, so bright and happy. Carol xx
Thought id stop and say hello folks. Richard from the Amish settlement of Lebanon,pa
Hello Pomona,
I really love your blog, and spent very nice moments reading your words and visiting your lovely cottage. It's a shame you are not posting anymore... I hope that you will come back soon !
Kind regards from France
