Barn Quilt Made to Go on our Fence

Pin It
I've finished my Fence (Barn) Quilt

This was so much fun. I measured and laid the pattern out
and then painted over a couple of days. Used a paint
pen for the lines and 4 coats of poly. to seal it.

I, of course didn't want to do a normal quilt block.

So, I did an Applique with the square set on point.

I used my patterns from Baskets of Applique Flowers as a reference.
Only available in PDF to your Printer,  you'll need the patterns.

Added quilt lines that you will never see from just a few steps back, but I know they are there, they make me happy !

Traveling you see barn quilts on farms.

Husband asked recently traveling, 'Why don't we have one?"
"We don't have a barn."   "We have a wooden fence."

So the project has started.

From Pillow Shams to Throw Pillows

Pin It
I'm always on the look out for anything quilted at Goodwill and I happened
upon these pillow shams

From Pillow Shams to Throw Pillows
How to take a Pillow Shams and make a Throw Pillows

I washed them in hot water and put them in the dryer. 

From Pillow Shams to Throw Pillows

After deciding the size I wanted, 


I cut each side, making sure that both pillows would match.


I hand quilted around the white of each pillow and  used the backing from the shams 
as the backing of each pillow. 


On my couch ready for anything.

Quilt on the Deck at my House

Pin It
Don't you just love the smell of a quilt which has been in the sun. 
The fresh air dried crispness of the cotton. 

Weather here is NUTS and I'm LOVING it. 
I even put on shorts and sat in the sun yesterday??? 
It's March and in the 70's in Nebraska.... Don't know, but I like it.

But, we did not sleep under this quilt last night,

As, every bird in a 3 block area took a shot at it
and they hit it, BIG time !

I'm rewashing and I'm trying again, 
Husband, the clothes line needs fixed.....DEAR !

Holiday Time at My House making a Red and Green Quilt

Pin It
This past holiday season, I was just not ready or maybe not in the mood ? I just don't know, but I walked through it, did it all, but a few weeks ago it  was snowing  and I started cutting fabric and I was finally in the holiday mood.

So to celebrate, I'm doing a quilt ! 
I've been wanting to do a holiday quilt for sometime. I've had the pattern done for quite a bit , I even had the fabric all washed. 

Complete quilt pattern is HERE for YOU

I recently purchased small loaf pans and I get three small loaves out of this recipe. I like these better, let them cool, wrap each in foil and put in freezer. 

Makes a wonderful addition to any meal. Pull out,  thaw and eat.
