I Hung My Four Seasons Quilts Myself
I am feeling REALLY SUCCESSFUL this afternoon.
I finished my “Four Seasons” quilts and hung them myself this afternoon.
LOOK!
Here’s another view:
And one more:
(There are close-ups for these quilts earlier on the blog–though I added more “falling blossom” buttons to “Spring” last night.)
(And a reminder that these quilts were inspired by Sarah Fielke’s quilt in MATERIAL OBSESSIONS 2–and I used her tree-trunk template.)
I found the nice white rods at Loews about a week ago.
Each rod has 4 nails–which required a trip to the hardware store this morning for a box of “just right” nails. AND, all the nails had to be lined up perfectly both horizontally and vertically–which took the 4-foot level I purchased last summer. (It’s such a useful tool.)
The hanging took a bit of math, a ladder, a footstool, patience, no panic, etc., etc., etc.
Boy am I happy with how they look hanging.
The quilt you see on the bed was a gift from the Coastal Quilters when John got really, really sick. Isn’t it beautiful?
I have spent some time this year making this room a pretty bedroom/office (for me). I reframed some pictures John took–and one of our wedding. Melody Pendleton painted it. I consolidated all the “office” stuff–and moved my work space into the office space. I’m almost done.
(The little hand-made doll is a version of one I gave a granddaughter on her third birthday. Her younger sister will get this one on her third birthday. There are blog posts on these dolls here.)
Oh you did hang them yourself and they are who pretty in your guest room!

I love this room! And love the Four Seasons quilt. Other than the lovely quilt on our bed the one on this bed is my other favorite!
