A few views of my husband’s studio, which also functions as a guest bedroom:
We moved the bed and threw a quilt I made on top of the white matelasse bedspread. This quilt was used as a wall hanging in the cottage we rented when we first moved east. It’s made of batiks and I love, love the intense colors.
More quilts stacked in a wicker basket. This little armoire functions as our linen closet (sadly, older homes lack closet space.)
Guitars. There is also a mandolin – it’s just not in the photo. Also not in the photo: speakers, our green farmhouse table, the desk and computer and a chair. Maybe in another post?
Heidi’s daughters gave me these for Christmas:
Do you think they know my favorite color?
My sneaky, wonderful sister sent me this:
Our obsession scarf. She used the most beautiful shades of gray. I love it. Thank you, Meredith. Actually, Meredith Letitia. So it is sort of perfect that the scarf is being modeled on Letitia, don’t you think?
Have a great Monday!
Just LOVE the scarf but everything is beautiful, Claudia.
Pop over for our lovely CSN GIVEAWAY!
Have a beautiful New Year ~
TTFN ~
Hugs, Marydon

Happy New Year,
Claudia! Love
the quilts and
your pretty gifts,
too…And I’m quite
fond of guitars, as
I used to play and
now my son does : )
I’m looking forward
to looking at your
older posts as I’ve
been down and out
this last week or
so. I hope your
Christmas was filled
with joy and that
2011 will be filled
with it, as well.
Monday hugs!
xx Suzanne
You are so welcome my wonderful sister. I think Letitia looks beautiful in the scarf. I would love to see a picture of you with the scarf on.
Love you,
Mere
Claudia,
Love the quilt. Batiks are favorites of mine as well. Still have not restarted scarf. I seem to make a 90degree turn and I lose the shape!!!!

Love all your photos, as well as the bright quilt. Heidi’s daughter must know…..those are gorgeous napkins!
Ah, you have a sweet sister. That scarf really is the perfect shades of gray.
Happy New Year to you,
Hugs,
Terri
I’m a huge lover of batiks, Claudia, so I particularly love the quilt. And the napkins and scarf are both lovely. Wonderful gifts!
XO,
Sheila:-)
YES, IT IS A LOVELY SHADE OF GREY. YOUR QUILTS ARE LOVELY, AND THE ONE ON THE BED IS SO VERY PRETTY.
HOPOE SCOUT IS FEELING BETTER. RIZZI
I love the scarf. I just helped young Miss Hitt choose a gray yarn to crochet a scarf for my son. He looks so nice wearing gray.
Your quilt is truly lovely Claudia. I had forgotten that you used to make quilts. They take so much patience. I wish I had that sort of patience, but I don’t.
HI CLAUDIA, SORRY, I I WANTED TO SAY I HOPE RILEY IS FEELING BETTER…..SO SORRY SCOUT. RIZZI
So pretty…I love the image of the napkins…sigh..you know thats my colour too my friend.
I love getting the house in order after Christmas….mine is naked and just the way I like it for January…I will start adding soon but for now…it is perfect!
Monday hugs. xoxoox
Lovely quilt, vintage napkins and scoop and obsession scarf. Guitars for the universal language of music…Happy year ahead.
Happy New Year! I love your post below about New Year’s Eve going to the dogs. So cute! Your new scarf is so pretty. Hope you’re having a great day and wishing you a wonderful week ahead and fantastic 2011!
Thanks for stopping by for a visit. I am so happy with my new furbaby. I keep pinching myself.
Cheers,
Holly
Happy New Year Claudia! Beautiful vintage napkins. Can you tell me again where you found the pattern for that scarf? I want to see if I can get my Mom or Nana to whip one out for me. The style is fabulous!
I am glad Riley is feeling better, it’s so scary when our babies are sick and helpless. I have a Pomeranian that hates to be brushed and when she blows her coat she’s a mess. I think her brushed out fur would make the softest scarf!
Lovely photos, Claudia! My favorite is your armoire with the basket of quilts…so charming!
I don’t recall seeing that gorgeous quilt before! Where’s it been hiding?

Gorgeous! Just enough sunny colors for cloudy winter days. Blessings, Joanne
Yes, like you, we too are short on space for storage- and of course an armoire is always a saving grace! Now I’m in the mood for organizing and getting rid of stuff (this always happens after the hols.) so today I’m away to do my best, but it’s so hard to decide what to keep and what to discard!
Lovely scarf – I’ve a closet full of grey clothes in all shades – it’s my new black because I’ve decided age and black becomes very dreary, except for basic pants during the day wth a cashmere cardi. thrown around chilly shoulders, and velvet for theatre nights!!! I swear I have more black tees than anyone on the planet – and I’m tired of them!
