Not Finished Quilt But USED all the Time

Pin It

I hate to say, but, I use this quilt and it's not finished... it's been SO long that is SO flat

Blue and White Flowered Quilt

I even put the binding on it,

because it fits a table I have and having it on it makes me happy. It measures about 40" x 40"

Some day??? Maybe??

I'm showing the back, it's been washed a number of times, I use a 1/4" seam allowance always, you never know what your quilts will be doing for you.

My Basket Quilt Pattern

Pin It

Here is the Basket Quilt Pattern HERE as I use it today, it's on my dresser and it still makes me smile to see it. I moved it to the dresser after being on my nightstand and I spilled coffee all over it and was handwashing it at 6:00 am before a flight out for vacation?? Crazy...but the things we do for quilts!

All 12 of my stories and all 15 quilt patterns are in ONE book. It is on KINDLE and NOOK and I really don't think they will be in print.  I just can't do it. I know that amazon has a program, but it overwhelms me so. As of NOW, only on Kindle and Nook.  I will let you know if something changes. Plus, it would cost so much,  it's huge, over 400 pages.

Side Panel of Our Front Door

Pin It

I have redone the glass at our front door. A few of the neighbors have put the reflection paper in...but I couldn't just do that ! 

Here's what I've been working on, making home mine.

Off to Lowes (not a paid mention) measurements in hand. Wanted it to be easy to bend in. I needed nine inches, but this was cut eight inches and they cut my 80 inches. Board is just under 1/4" thick.

This is why the board had to bend, I didn't want nails, used the plastic nooks so it can be taken up or down as I like. Would like to do more for seasons.

FROM the Outside, How loud do you think the condo association will YELL ?  I NEVER mention what I do to them. Just let them notice on their own.

p.s. Would LOVE to paint this side too, but I'm going to wait and see, maybe picking my battles a bit?
