The center of this quilt was a Ways and Means for Burke QU many years ago - over 10 years ago I'm sure. I finished the center and played with the idea of an applique border but that really isn't my thing. I finally settled on the pinwheels - adding more at the top to cover the pillow. It sat on a shelf for another couple of years before I decided to quilt it by checkbook. Diane Henry did the quilting. I'm very happy with what she did.
Here is a peek at my sewing room. Was good to sit down at my machine and sew on the binding. I hand stitched it on in my sunroom. It was a bit warm in there but the light is wonderful any time of day. It will be nice to do some hand quilting in that room in the winter time.
I picked this up at a yard sale. Any ideas as to how to display it without completely enclosing it in a frame? Love the cover and also want to look inside from time to time.
Your quilt is a beauty! I love how the pin wheels are placed on the pillow and the borders. The hardwood floors are beautiful - I imagine the rest of the sewing space is as well. Thanks for a peek. I have a couple of the magazines framed and s few just sitting.
ReplyDeleteThere is a framing technique where the back is hinged and it can be opened from the back to access the magazine.
Oh my Maureen, the quilt is absolutely darling!! What a cheerful addition to your sewing room!! I would love to sit with you in your sun room and quilt!! Wouldn't that be fun!!

Great UFO finish!! Decoupage it to a piece of wood or frame in a plastic frame?? It is too cute to cover up.
