Hols for Heroes Auction - Hand made Cot Quilt - ends 14.3.10
Thanks to the incredible talents of the Phantom Bear Dresser, I'm able to auction this rather wonderful cot quilt. Hopefully arrsers with new children or grandchildren (or great-grandchildren?) will find some cash to bid for it.
It's about 25 inches by 45 inches, made of cotton, and backed with broiderie anglaise, totally washable, and every little picture is hand embroidered in cross stitch. It's a work of art, and any baby would love to sleep, puke, gurgle and all those other baby activities in its snuggly loveliness.
As always, the funds raised go to support whatever cause MDN is scrounging for when the auction ends, which will be, ironically, Mothers' Day.And this you can see is the bolt. The purpose of this
Is to open the breech, as you see. We can slide it
Rapidly backwards and forwards: we call this
Easing the spring. And rapidly backwards and forwards
The early bees are assaulting and fumbling the flowers:
They call it easing the Spring.
They call it easing the Spring: it is perfectly easy
If you have any strength in your thumb: like the bolt,
And the breech, and the cocking-piece, and the point of balance,
Which in our case we have not got; and the almond-blossom
Silent in all of the gardens and the bees going backwards and forwards,
For today we have naming of parts.

Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, because you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup...

Have you seen those hand embroidered pictures in cross stitch ?
You will hardly find another cot quilt like this.
Grab the chance !!

Splendid bidding there, sir. Thank you!
(Just to be clear, for the young ones, that's £36.75, i.e. thirty five pounds and thirty five shillings....)And this you can see is the bolt. The purpose of this
