Double Wedding Quilt Project - Done


In 1990 I had an idea for a quilt and wall hanging for my king-sized bed.  The problem: I did not know how to quilt.  Solution: take a quilting class.  


I started with a pin cushion, progressed to a wall hanging, and then to a sampler quilt.  I was 'Hooked on Quilting'.  Then, I took the quilt class to end all quilt classes...a Double Wedding Ring Quilt.  Of course, mine could not have been a simple double wedding ring quilt.  No...I went for a queen sized quilt with three different colors and a white center.


All documented in this book


Fabric selection documentation










Here you go! 
22 years later...Not only for the quilt, but for the quilter...

20 Year Anniversary

Now, 22 years later...











Of course, I have many more ideas to embellish it.  
I have decided to declare it 'finished'.  Now on to the future.

Finally, A Room of My Own!

Chuck was lucky
...his room ... 
at times called a
'man cave'...
was move-in ready.




My Room...
("The Etsy Room")
was a bedroom with carpet.
Carpet is not great for 
crafting with glue and 
acrylic paint. I had to wait for a laminate floor and some kind of shelving to be installed. I thought of building some new shelving, but what would I do with all of my cabinets, chests, and tables??? Decision: Keep them and go with the eclectic look.  It's my style after all! 


This is the official unveiling---Ta Da! 





I am loving it. I even took time from the never ending unpacking to work on a project for myself. I have been adding to my inventory on Etsy, but nothing just for me.  I have many projects in the queue.  Some of them are for me, us, gifts, and Etsy.  I promised Chuck that I would bring only one project at a time in the house from the garage or storage.*...unless I want to quilt in the Arkansas room or the living room:)


*Note: In Little Rock I had projects in both guest rooms, the dining room, the breakfast room, the office, and the garage!
