Done is Good

What an inspired use for a window frame. They look so good there.

What an imaginative way to use an old window, Pam! It's really nice. :) As for the garland, I don't really know -- the window itself doesn't look bare, but I can't tell how it looks on the wall.

very clever way to display your blocks.

How cool is that?! Great job Pam! I might have to steal the idea for myself... Debi

That looks SOOOOO good!

Love your Kites!

What a creative use for that window! It looks great!

I enjoyed looking at all your pictures. I really like your postcards. I did a few of those this year too.

Love the way you used the window to display the blocks. I have been teaching a class using the same book as the basic text. Yes, some of the blokcs come out small. I thought it was my sewing so remade the blocks and they were still small. We plan to frame all the blocks with

The class started in January and will end in November. Each month there is a different technique theme. We have followed the chapters in the book making at least 72 blocks. I have given them additional patterns or substitue patterns when the one in the book weren't correct. The applique patterns were a little weak so I gave additional patterns if they liked applique. I have been making the quilt along with the students instead of having it completed when class started. Fortunately the class understands. I keep a month ahead of them. September and October will be on foundation piecing. November will be on setting ideas. December I will meet with them one on one to decide on their setting. We plan a reunion class in the spring to show our finished (just assembled tops?) quilts. Six students started the class but only four will finish.

I have mixed feel>Finally finished a project I have been working on for a LONG time. I

Thanks everyone for all the nice comments! I cant take 100% credit for the idea tho. I saw something similair one time in a craft/antique store. It was much smaller and nice enough but its one of these things that you see and say to yourself, "I can do that myself!". So I did! Good to know its giving others some inspiration too! My husband is what I call a 'junker' so he is always coming home with oddball stuff. He found the window frame and we actually have 3-4 more in different sizes. I will probably make a smaller version for the kitchen. But I will get my block patterns from a different source. The book was a good idea in theory but it needed some cleaning up. Too many errors and discrepancies I think.

Wow!! That's cool. What a neat idea, to use an old window frame to "frame" a quilt!!

I was looking through the rest of your delightful pics, and am curious about the "lions and tigers" - how did you acheive that effect? I absolutely love how it looks.
