poor unloved irises
 
1 Attachment(s)
I bought this paper pieced wall hanging this morning at a garage sale. Price? $2. Poor thing was made by the seller's Mom and was hanging beside the furnace! I think I will wash it, give it a new hanger and hang it in my sewing room. The picture quality is not good, the fabrics are quite nice.

I have one of those I made many years ago too...kind of ran out of wall space..... I called mine "Stilted Iris" I think it's an Eileen Sullivan pattern ( foundations) Enjoy your new treasure!

Those Siberian Iris look so light and graceful compared to the 'regular' iris.

That is beautiful find.

If she only knew how much work went into that paper pieced wall hanging! Great find for you at $2.

I hope Mom is not a member on here- can you imagine! Well done saving it.

I always wonder if the folks selling these "made by Mom" treasures realize that they are selling a little piece of their Moms heart.

It's beautiful and I know YOU will enjoy it. Good save!

I think it's lovely. Nice save and it now has a good home.
