Remember the vintage yardsticks? How could you forget?! I had hung one yardstick in my narrow hall way with the intention to hang more once I found some. Today I completed the gallery by putting up two more yardsticks. The hallway goes from the front of the house to the kitchen in the back. There used to be a closet right there, but we removed it during some major rennovation to our 1929 home. The hallway is narrow because of this and difficult to get a straight-on photo. It is a good spot because there is no direct sunlight to fade the textiles.

The quilts on display are all ones I have made. I can also display antique doll quilts.
Regarding my last post, here is the blue and white block I have decided to do. Colors will alternate as shown. It is rather large, 3 inches finished :) PA German version is coming next.
I just looked out the window and it is raining. Yay!!!!
Very nice! I recogized the little quilt in the middle row on the left! Last time I saw ---that cute "doll quilt" was in my house on top of one of my doll beds getting ready for it's picture to be taken. I sure would have loved to have kept it but---- the Fon's and Porter gang said it had to be returned to the designer and that would be "you"! :)

I love it Ann! The skinny hallway is perfect for the little quilts.
ReplyDeleteI love your newest blocks. It is going to be a fantastic quilt.
This is the best idea that I have seen yet for hanging small quilts. Yours look so darn charming!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for hanging the little quilts. I use the yardsticks (not vintage ones)slipped thru a sleeve on the back of quilts that are less than 36" but the really small one make so many holes in the wall. I've been hesitating to hang a grouping for that reason -thanks for the idea!
