No Clothes Line !

After the beach and all the sand, the quilts needed to be washed, the beach.

And, there is no clothes line here, just like in Nebraska bethanndoing.com

So, off to the washer and on the chairs

They didn't dry all the way, I put them over the chairs for the night.

The next morning,

it looks like they are having a quilt meeting !

All done and pretty

Barn Quilt on the Fence, Done

The Wall is Finished
3rd Block

We are really enjoying them

Used 1/4" plywood, sanded just a bit, (I like seeing the texture of the wood) they measure 26" x 26", real barn quilts are huge.

We taped off the size we liked on the fence before deciding, you will be surprised

how big it will need to be.

I'm using acrylic paints, a black paint marker to outline, (which no one will ever see)

and I did 3-4 coats of poly, on top, back and sides

No straight on photo, huge tree in the way !

Best Plan...And Husband??

I had a plan to go and get some quilt pictures.

WELL, my plan just didn't pan out ! I can laugh now, but the night I saw over 40 pictures and these are the best ????? I was a mess !

On our recent vacation, I took 3 quilts and if you are on pinterest.com

you've seen how beautiful they are done.

I'd planned to be at the beach (Anna Maria) my 9 a.m. get the pictures, spend some time and then go have lunch (I told Husband my plan) . Husband had other plans, to pick up his mom and getting to the beach at noon (Siesta Keys) . It wasn't his fault, but he did say, "Do you need anything done?" She did ! "Which beach do you like?"

I just about fell over as the words came out of his mouth, 2 times !

SO, next trip, we will have to re-do these,

you can see the heat in the pictures and in me.

My hair didn't look like that when we left that morning,
