Since the first of the year, life has been so busy I have had little time to blog. Today however, my son spiked a 103.2 fever so I am home with him, waiting to the doctor's office to answer the phone.
I purchased some interesting reproduction Shaker hangers from Carole at
http://www.carolescountry.com/. The hangers are copies of antique clothing hangers made by the Shakers. I purchased them, not to hang clothing, but to hang little quilts.
I stuck a strip of velcro to the hanger. You can hang on the wall as I did above, or from a peg rack.
Then I stuck two velcro squares to a strip of muslin I sewed to the quilt. I didn't want to have the adhesive stuck directly to the quilt. Hard to see them here.

I have a craft show in late March. One of my new items will be Easter basket ornaments made from vintage 1930s and 1940s fabrics. They look cute tied to an Easter Basket or hung on a cupboard door knob. I picked up this little tree from The Country House catalog to use as a display at my show.

At least I have a little spring inside the house. Time to try the doc's office again...
