My very first quilt--and a wall hanging--finally done and home!
7 Attachment(s)
I made this wall hanging many years ago--pieced all the blocks by hand, then put it aside because I was overwhelmed by the 'quilting' part. So I finally took it to get quilted (along with a full-bed-size quilt I made for my daughter). I picked both up on Saturday, and I am so pleased with them. :)
Wall hanging: [ATTACH=CONFIG]317409[/ATTACH] Here is it in its spot in my sewing room--temporary hanging job, using little clips, but at least it's up! [ATTACH=CONFIG]317410[/ATTACH] Close up of the Dresden plate block, to show the quilting--she did all-over stippling. [ATTACH=CONFIG]317411[/ATTACH] Now my daughter's quilt. It was a Joann fabric 'block of the month'--Legacy Star--which I bought online in 2004, for 50% off. I know, that's a LONG time to not finish something, but life happens. DD got her great-grandma's bedroom furniture recently, and the comforter she had on it just did not 'go' at all--way too modern--so I dug the quilt kit out and finished it. It looks SOOOo much nicer on her 'old-fashioned' bed, and really warms the room up. [ATTACH=CONFIG]317412[/ATTACH] Here it is on the bed, with the pillow shams I made. I used my Eleanor Burns book, "Still stripping after 25 years" for the general instructions, and added the quilt square and borders: [ATTACH=CONFIG]317413[/ATTACH] I also made some throw pillows--a couple 'real' quilt squares, and one just strips sewn together: [ATTACH=CONFIG]317414[/ATTACH] And finally, a close up of the center of the quilt--this shows the leaves she quilted into the green borders: [ATTACH=CONFIG]317415[/ATTACH] Thanks for looking!! :) |
