My first concert was The Cure. Fall of 1996. I dyed my hair purple the day before and sweated purple dye all over my new dress but it didn't matter because The Cure.
They've occupied a special place in my heart since 1993. So imagine my delight when I heard that they were bringing their intimate backyard/living room tour to my town!*
* Okay, not really. This happened in a dream. But in the dream, they came to my city and I was going to see them again in concert!
Bare Beds
Well, when they got here, they encountered a snafu. Apparently, their fixer had bungled their accommodation arrangements. When they checked into their AirBnB, all the beds were bare. No sheets, no blankets, nothing.
Luckily, I had just arrived to check on them and make sure they had everything they needed. I'm considerate like that. Robert Smith spotted the quilt I keep in the back of my car (you know, in case of snowdrifts).
He said, "Could we borrow some quilts?"
I flew into ecstasies and yelled, "Sure! This one's extra warm! This one's extra long! This one's extra colorful!" Basically I threw my entire inventory of quilts at The Cure.
A lady can dream, right?
Actually, this dream can come true.
Are you an AirBnB host? Do you own vacation rental properties? Is it time to spruce up your space with placemats, table runners, and new quilts on the beds? Let's talk.
Log Cabin, cotton fabrics with fleece batting, machine pieced, hand tied. 2006-2012 (Yes, it took that long to finish. Quilts have no statute of limitations.)
Technical Note
This quilt really is extra soft. Why? Because as a novice quilter, I knew my limits. Because this quilt is queen size, I knew I wouldn't be able to quilt it on my domestic machine. Hence the yarn ties. It also has fleece for batting. It would absolutely keep Robert Smith warm.
