Made Some Shams!

I made two euro shams for my guest bed.  I had made the quilt a few years back and so the fabric is long gone, for the most part. So I found some striped fabric at Common Threads Quilt Shoppe in North Liberty. I think it picks up the colors nicely.  I quilted the front  a little and added white piping.  I think they turned out kind of sweet!

I hung my Rose quilt above the bed with my new Hang It Dang It quilt hanger.  It is an adjustable rod that fits through the sleeve I made and then a plastic piece clamps on and you hang it with 1 nail!!! Waaay better than all the holes in the wall for a quilt hanger!

I took another Annie Sloan paint class this last weekend.  Learned all about crackle finishing, gilding, gold leaf, and a couple of other finishes.  Also was a great refresher course.  As always, it was a fun afternoon thanks to Janet at TLC Vintage Collection  in Des Moines.  I'm hoping to paint the dresser in the guest room soon.  Just not sure what color.

Spent the night with David and Marcia.  Had a nice visit!
