My grandmother made
This patchwork quilt - work of love
Keeps me warm tonight

Actually, my mother has the quilt, and it might have been her grandmother who made it. More than a little poetic license here. The pattern isn't like the one in the picture, but it is that intricate.
With needle in hand
She carefully crafts the quilt
With love in her heart

There's no direct reference to nature or weather here, though one may infer the season from the topic of the warm quilt. I'm mindful now of first-third line interchangeability, and am trying to achieve that feature with these haiku. I think they work pretty well.
Update: I like what Bjorn did, so I did this.
