Number 12 is just a guesstamite. Hm, not really sure how to spell guesstamite, and it doesn’t come up on spell check. Strange. Moving on. I saw this project, a little wall hanging, in a quilting magazine, and thought it would look good in the dining room.
Not in love with the colors that they used, but that is an easy thing to change. I wanted it to go with one of my favorite pieces of decor in our house, a painted barn door that used to belong to my grandma.
We have it hanging in the dining room, and I was thinking of putting the new hanging on the opposite wall. I went to my usual quilting shop down the road, picked out some fabrics and started cutting a week ago. From start to finish, it took me about a week and a half, I finished it on Sunday night. It was by far my fastest project, but it’s not that big; about 3.5 feet long and 1.5 feet tall.
I really like the colors, it goes perfect with the painting, and looks nice with the wood in that room (it’s on the table in the picture). The one thing I didn’t think of is how I was going to hang it. Usually I just use push-pins to put up hangings, but this one is long enough that it is saggy in the middle if you just use pins. I am going to have to make a sleeve on the back to put a dowel though. So I guess it is technically not done yet, but close enough.
