Warming the cockles
An unexpected gift
The Quimper Hitty friends have been wondering how Tansy is doing in the frosts of Winnipeg during the coldest winter in 64 years! They are all experiencing a bit of a chill too as the Polar vortex has stretched a chilly arm all the way out to Victoria. We are sitting at -4.4 at the moment, cold enough for us thank you very much.
Constance often rides to work in her human’s pocket – it takes about an hour to walk from work back to the Hitty Cupboard. Constance has not been amused by the weather, her little pegs are loosening with the dry chill. She was SO surprised to find a dear little parcel with the cheerfullest warmest little yellow I spy quilt in it from a Hitty friend, sent with no warning and just from the goodness of her heart!
Constance snuggled right under it with the cat while the human built up the fire in the woodstove and made us both tea… a little gift to warm the cockles of a human heart (and Constance’s aching joints!)

That is a very lovely gift to the Quimpers from the Hitty friend. It’s perfect for the temps you’re experiencing especially with the brightness. It’s as if the sun were brought right to the doll cupboard.
That is exactly it! I love that cheerful yellow!
The Quimper HItties are so lucky to have such warm and loving friends!
They are lucky, and they do have the best friends!
Such a perfect quilt to bring some sunshiny cheer and warmth to the cold weather. Love the little cat with Hitty Constance as well.
It was so kind and generous, I am still surprised and enormously cheered!
Marie Claire spotted the little block with the tiny chickens…she is VERY impressed. The rest of us were
taken with the lovely yellow quilt! We are also experiencing FRIGID temps and huddling beneath our
blankets. Lovely photo!!
We love our little quilts, and this just proves there can’t be too many of them!
The quilt is beautiful!
We love it’s cheerfulness !
This quilt is perfect for the season – warm and cheerful. Constance, and the cat, must be very pleased indeed.
They are – the cat is especially grateful for warm cosy quilts to curl up under.
