Quilts Pattern used in Stain Glass Windows

 Thank you all for asking about the stain glass.  These are on the windows in our
family room/guest room. I did three of them.

Window One

I've taken stain glass classes and I love the idea of it, but the doing the whole hot thing, is not for me. I designed the patterns, cut the glass, and on purchased frames I laid out the pieces, glued them all down (glass glue) and grouted them with gray grout.

Window Two

Window Three

Each frame measures 32' x 32' and they are very heavy.
They are hung with screws through the frame, so they can't fall.

The natural light comes through them all day and all are on the same light switch for night, making them glow.

One of my favorite blocks, the glass is wonderful.

You can do so much with quilt blocks.

Paisley Quilt using Simple Log Cabin Quilt Pattern

I was recently asked about this quilt.

Measures 50" x 50"

The topic was brought up about colors, styles and patterns. Quilter's color is fun, color does not have to always be matching, Try something new ! ! You will love it.

I don't think, I think outside the box,

I think I do what I like and when I like it, that is all that matters.

I made this to be washed all the time, it's the couch quilt.
It's machine pieced and hand quilted, with pearl cotton thread, so the stitches are a bit bigger, but not huge.

It's a very simple log cabin style pattern.

 

The plaid fabric is from a gift I received and the paisley is just what I like.

I cannot say, this enough, Don't over think a Quilt, do it !

Adding Old Wooden Door has Head Board

Old Wooden Door Head Board

I didn't think the hard part of all this would be hanging it.

Finding the stubs, marking, drilling, lifting and finally on the wall. I filled the holes,

re-painted, vacuum and remade the bed.

The door was level, but the stain glass wasn't. Had to fix.

The new headboard, I LOVE IT !

Yes the quilt, this quilt is over 20 years old and in the day I tied the quilt with yarn.

This quilt has been used, loved, washed and put in the dryer. It has lasted and is in very good shape, by just taking good care of it and purchasing the best fabric I could, I hope to have it for many more years.

The finished project.

NOW, I like it,

Next, 2 nightstands, I'm still looking for them, GW here I come !

Old Wooden Door has a Head Board

Old Wooden Door has a Head Board

Looking at the pictures on the blog, I didn't like that there was no headboard.

Husband takes one day off during the week and we headed to a flea market. I mentioned a queen size headboard, but something different. And, look what we found. I liked the full walnut one that said, "Boys Locker Room", he picked this one. I think I'm rubbing off on him?

All the glass is perfect, I cleaned and cleaned.
We had the discussion to paint, I didn't.

He had to move the hinges to the other side so they could be left on,
They look great, old and a bit of rust. Love them.

The door handle, Stop back tomorrow and see the room on Quilt Show Saturday,

It is machine pieced and hand quilted by me.

I quilted with white thread and tried to use a very small stitch.

Pine Tree Quilt Hand Quilting

 I've started quilting on a lap quilt, a gift and I'm doing it by hand.

I love triangles and the look of them as leaves is very nice. They are cut 2 7/8" x 2 7/8" and the quilt is simple and very attractive. All fabric from my scrap closet and the closet fabric is not going down??

As a gift, I do the stitches a bit bigger than usual and this time I'm using pearl cotton thread. The stitches are not toe nail size but bigger than 12 stitches per inch.
