ornaments
Drove to Doylestown, PA, yesterday to visit the gift shop at the Mercer Museum. It was a successful visit; they placed an order for 18 ornaments (basically 3" quilt blocks, quilted and bound, with a string for hanging) and two "large" quilts. One is a variable star with 9 stars in pastel colors with a neutral border (shown in an earlier post). The other one of the designs I showed in my last post--the quilt with green setting squares and red border. If that one sells at my show then I will make another one for the museum. I have just enough of the red border fabric to make one more.
Congratulations you must be very proud of yourself. Do you construct your 3" blocks in the same manner as your larger quilts? Do you foundation piece them? I have just had a look at my ruler - 3"!?! Do you have little fingers? And no intervention required.
ReplyDeleteWhat great little ornaments! I've never heard of that museum- I'll have to look it up. Congratulations!! :) Christine
ReplyDeleteSounds like a very successful trip. It must feel really good to know your little works of art are in the museum gift shop. How exciting for you!
ReplyDeleteSuch cuties! I'm so happy that your beautiful work is appreciated so well in your area. That must be very gratifying! I'm sure they will sell well. ---"Love"
ReplyDeleteI think they will be very good sellers. Nice to see them picked up by the museum. Well done! Ann :-)
ReplyDeleteThat is the most wonderful museum. What show are you doing?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Ann! I am sure they will fly off the shelves and you will need to make more rather soon.

Congrats Ann. You will be busy sewing more pieces for that gift shop once people se your little quilts. Keep us posted.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad the meeting went well. I love those little ornaments. I'm sure they'll leave the store for new homes very quickly. -Joanne
