I showed you this wallhanging as part of my post on "Sisters' Week" fall '08 but it is completed now and hanging in my new laundry room. The birdhouse roofs are done in prairie points and buttons hold them to the wallhanging.

The shelf was a tolepainted shelf that was resplendent in dusty rose flowers and blue trim, so I sanded the flowers, painted it black and got our carpenter to drill holes in the sides so I could insert a removable dowel. I can change the wallhanging with the seasons, holiday, mood, etc! PLUS the shelf part gives me a place to display some related theme items... Still looking for where I packed the sunflower stuff!

That turned out really cute!
Great job!

very cute wallhanging - I like it alot.

WOW!

Really nice & cheery looking!! Bet it brightened your laundry room right up! :D

Very nice!! Love the Chickadee's

That is just gorgeous!

Hanging in your laundry room? It is beautiful!

Very cute! Are the openings for the birdhouses buttons?

If I understand your question correctly, no I didn't make buttonholes. Just sewed the buttons through the completed hanging.

The laundryroom was part of the living area makeover we did this winter. We skimmed a little off the kitchen (about 2 feet) so we could enlarge the laundry room and put in pantry cupboards for extra storage. It is bright and cheery has a door going out to the back patio where I hope to have a clothesline later this summer. I can't believe how much I enjoy doing the laundry now! LOL

I love your sunflower wallhanging! And you shelf is great too!

I ABSOLUTELY love it! I have the pattern, material ( I looked high and low for what I wanted), and buttons for this project. I plan to work on it this summer. Since I have only been quilting for a little over a year I wanted to wait until I was better because I really want this to turn out well! If it is just half as good as yours I will be proud :!: :) Birdhouses are my other "thing" I painted a wall mural in my kitchen of birdhouses. Maybe I can remember to take a pic and post!

ooooooooooooooo pretty

How cheery is that? No wonder you like doing the laundry! I bet the wallhanging makes you smile every time you look at it. So, any ideas for the autumn wallhanging?

I losve this pattern, I have the magazine and am trying to decide if I want to make this and the table runner or a crochet table cloth for my niece who is getting married in Nov.

Mamagus, I really meant 'winter', not ' autumn'. I've been looking for ideas for a winter wallhanging,as all my 'must-do' projects SHOULD be finished by October.

mamagus - I love that! And the prairie point rooves with the buttons are a wonderful touch!

I have LOADS of Christmas wallhangings so I expect the winter one will be snowmen. Not sure of the design yet!

Love your quilt and quilt shelf. That bit of sunshine is bound to make laundry a lot more fun!

Wow!!!! I love it.

Wow! This is so cute! I love the birdhouse border and I am smitten with buttons on quilts. I'll need to find this pattern. Which issue of what magazine is it in?

WOW!! That is beautiful!

It's so pretty and CUTE!!

I have had a few pms asking that same question. I know it was a summer issue of a magazine in 2008... and I think it was Quilter's World. We did it in a group and I didn't get a copy of the magazine when I could have!I have the October issue so it may have been the August issue.

Also... it was on the front cover so you shouldn't have to look too far. Quilter's World has a digital archive if you subscribe.

Now that is really cute!

Very pretty! It's such a happy quilt! :D

I love, love, love your wallhanging - can I ask where you got the pattern etc from I would love to make one of these for my sewing room. It would brighten it up no end.
Many Thanks - Tisha :wink:

Lori--That is so cute!! I love the fact that you recycled your shelf and painted it black so you can use it for any wall hanging. You are such a clever girl!!!

That must be some fancy laundry room you got there to deserve a wallhanging this special!! Please show us each new seasonal wallhanging that you make--it is such a cute idea!!! :D No wonder you enjoy doing laundry now.

Mamagus -thanks so much for posting the pattern source! :)

That turned out so cute. Great wall hanging.
