Great Wall of Quilts!

 

 

Inspired by Kathie's and Leah's walls of quilts, it has been a dream of mine to
also have a wall of mini quilts as part of my sewing room makeover.

My dear friend Bev came by for a visit yesterday, before heading to Italy for a month.

 And as l will be heading to the States in 3 weeks,

 it will be 2 months before we see each other again. 

While she was here we discussed the hanging of the mini quilts, and we decided
then and there was the right time to start hanging them.
Out came the ladder, we wandered through the house taking mini quilts from here
and there and a packet of push pins were located.
Several hours and lots of fun later, the result is far and beyond my
expectations of what the wall would look like, hence the name it has been given
of "The Great Wall of Quilts". As my ceilings are 10ft high, we have been able to
hang a staggering amount on the wall. l think l count 32, make that 34.

There is still room for more and there are more quilts left over!!!

So options to switch them around over time.

So while there are some that need quilting still, l wanted to hang them to get
the over all effect. There are several that have been gifted over the years, and
that makes them even more special. l think of all my quilting friends near and
far when l look at the wall, and marvel at the friendships that have been made
because of this great passion we share.

If you have ever considered hanging a wall of quilts like this, don't hesitate.
Its such a wonderful feeling to stand back and enjoy, and fun to bring someone
into the room and watch as they look in wonder at the sight in front of them.

My room is finally coming together.

l took a dear male friend into the room this morning, and as he looked, up he
said, "Now l know what Nikki ( his Wife ) means when she says she wants a sewing
room".



 

 

Here it is from a different angle tonight, and as you might see,

 l have added 2 more small quilts.

 

 

 

Enjoy!

Thanks for visiting.
