Door hanging
 

My mom is in assisted living. She enjoys something on her apartment door. I make things to hang there for her. It is a great conversation starter with the staff and other residents. I will hang this one next month.

That is so nice-great job !

Lovely doorhanging! You’re absolutely right about them being great conversation starters. I’m sure they all look forward to seeing whats new.

I bet that brings a lot of cheer to residents and staff alike. So pretty!!!

Very pretty, everyone will love it.

love this! It's so nice and spring-y!

It is very pretty and very professional.

Lovely in two ways!

So thoughtful!
 

What a sweet conversation starter! How often do you do them? How are you attaching them to the door? Your work is beautiful!

Wonderful job! That will make a lovely addition to her apartment.

Very pretty. Great way to celebrate St. Patty's Day.

Cute and festive.

I use a Command hook on the door and a hanger that has a dowel in it so I can change the mini quilts about once a month. I try to make something for holidays. Each new thing is about a 12 inch square. I don't make something much longer than that because they become to 'swingy' when the door is opened or closed. Mom taught me to sew and she loves to talk about what I make.

Beautiful work!

Such a pretty door hanging. You did a beautiful job on it. I especially love the fabric you have on the wide border. Would you share where you purchased it?

Beautiful door hanging. Lovely that you are able to return the favor to the one who taught you how to sew.

That is so pretty. I kept my mom’s door decorated too. She lived to be 95 and I still miss her.💕

Our guild used Nancy Halvoran's book, Count On It, as our BOM one year. It's a fun project. A new wall hanging for each month and a couple of special ones. It's fusible appliqueing. I made mine a little longer than specified so it would cover most of my hanging rack. These would work perfectly for a door.

Beautiful door hanging!

So beautiful! I love that you do that for your mother! I am sure it benefits everyone who passes through her door!

That is a clever idea. I may have to do something like that as, except for a T-shirt quilt for grandson this spring, I am not making any more big quilts unless someone needs one. They are just getting to cumbersome to finish as I do my own FMQ. Of course, I could always have one of the talented longarmers but I really like to do all parts of making of a quilt myself, just me.

To celebrate the Irish in all of us! This will grace her door and be a real conversation starter. Your mom is lucky to have you to do these little things. It is beautiful.

Sweet door hanging

This is so neat and pretty!

What a lovely hanging! Have you thought of putting attaching a magnet to the back? You know those credit card shaped magnets one gets with advertising on it? I have cut them in half horizontally and punched a small hole in each corner, then sewing the magnet to the back. This is how it looks on a small mini (4" x 6")

Can then hang on a metal door or refrigerator.

Great idea!!! I never thought of that! Thank you!
