front door 'wreath'
 

Last Xmas I thought, after making a quilted 'wreath' for our front door, I'd try and make one for each season. I might even branch off to one a month!
So far, I have 2 LOL
This is Autumn's. I also thought I'd add a basenji to each item I made for myself. Here, I added a pup in a bag - looking for Xmas purchases maybe?

(I know I might not make another, but 'snow in January' is planned)

That is so super. It looks beautiful. BrendaK

very nicely done!!!!!

Very pretty! I like your plans :)

Great idea. Love the fall one.

I love your idea and really like how your wreath turned out!

What a great wreath.

nice door hanging and nice quilting

It is a sweet idea. Vert pretty!

Very cool. I like the idea of one a month.

very nicely done... love the pattern and the quilting

What a good idea. It is lovely

I wish I could hang a small quilt on the front door.. I don't have a screen/glass door so I can't :'( Hubby doesn't think we could add one to our door for some reason - I think that's code for I don't want to do it lol.
Yours is really nice. I like it a lot.

I think it looks fantastic and such a great idea. What size did you make it???

Love it! Very, very nice.

Great! I like your idea and the personal touch with the B. Interested in how you hang them on your door?
peace

That is neat and the quilting is so perfect.

Really pretty.

Awesome, I love it!

Lovely. What a great way to show that a quilter lives in your house.

That's a great idea. Love the leaf one. Beautiful quilting on it too.

Thanks for the compliments.
It's 18 inches square
It's hung by a hook that they sell at Xmas time. It's a magnetic hook, and RED, but our door is metal, and the hook is hidden by the wreath. I put triangles in the back of the piece and so far just balancing it on the hook keeps it centered.
I just thought of something - I've seen little metal hooks with magnets on them that I think would work too, when I go to Home Depot or Lowes with my husband
2 reasons I don't hang a traditional wreath:
There's only a few inches between the doors (a fatter wreath would get squished), and in the past a traditional wreath, usually on a wire frame, scratched up the door.

And to the person that commented on 'perfect quilting' With this one I learned to make sure the quilting pattern is not hidden in any area by the binding. But, I have never had anyone from the quilt police come to my door and ring the doorbell, though I do suppose it's possible they came to the door, looked, and ran away laughing!

oops, forget

What a wonderful front porch! I love your welcome hanger too, what a great idea.
We had a blue and white house in davenport, Ia. I loved it.

Great idea and love your wreath!

Looks wonderful on your door!

Super idea & super project. It looks pretty on your door.

I've been working on a Christmas door "wreath-type" hanging..I love Christmas trees and am making a door hanging with about 6 different tree blocks. hope it turns out like what I have pictured in my head (or better:)

Pleases share a pic when it's finished, we'd love to see it

I did this several years ago for my mother and mother-in-laws doors at the assisted living. One for every month (and they are not all the same size or shape, which makes them also very interesting.

October: Pumpkins
November: Turkeys
December: Cane Canes (also Package)
January: Snowmen
February: Hearts
March: Shamrocks (also Kites)
April: Easter Crosses
May: Roses
June: Flip Flops
July: Flag
August: Cats (also CupCakes)
September: Apples

All the lady residents love (the men don't think to much about them). HA HA ! ! !

Also , I hang them with a wreath hanger and put a split sleeve on the back of the quilts. And I mean two (2) shorter sleeves on the back that has a space between the two sleeves. Works great ! !

Very pretty--great idea!

That looks great, very welcoming. I really like this idea. Thanks for sharing.

What a lovely idea. Love the fall theme.

What a great idea. I love your quilting.

What a smart idea! Uh oh, something for me to add to my list of projects :-)

What a great idea! The storm door on my front door fits too closely to hang a traditional wreath. I never thought about doing a 'door hanging' but now I will. Thanks! :)

I love your fall quilt. I have the perfect window for one. Do you have a picture of your winter or Christmas quilt?

What a charming idea! Thanks

Love this and the idea of one for every month. Did you use a pattern or make your own?
