It was a cold and snowy night but the teddy bears had come out of their cave, hoping that they might find that spring had arrived. Such silly bears to come out at night when it was clearly snowing, as they could see had they only looked out the window of their cave (they have a very special cave with a window to the outside). The snow was piling up on the window panes but still they came out.

The bears were, thankfully, dressed for the elements. They sat down in the snow outside their cave, in front of their window, and wondered, “When, oh when, will spring arrive so we can come out and play?” After a few minutes, and upon getting rather chilled from sitting in the snow, they turned about and trooped back inside for some honey and other bear goodies to tide them over until spring arrived.
This is Snowy Windows at Night, my Four Seasons Quilt Swap 5 quilt.

It was a lot of fun being challenged to make a monochromatic quilt and, of course, I loved piecing the curves. Off it goes now to its intended recipient. I hope she likes it as much as the bears did!
Smudge certainly knows how to relax.


LOVE this! I am a lover of monchromatic and you have done such a nice job!

Very nice quilt, I did a double take to make sure it wasn’t actually one of your windows LOL.With the blowing snow today, my neighbor’s windows screens caught the snow and are totally whited out….not nearly as pretty as your quilt.Crispy

The snowy windows is awesome. Perfect fabric and very creative.I am concerned about Smudge. I have to give my labrador retriever Xanax when I board him at the kennel and he never looks as relaxed as Smudge. Renegade needs to know Smudge’s secret.Charlsey
