Made a little something to celebrate Independence Day ~ an especially special day this year and the pillow looks good on the front porch rocker! I used some pre~tea dyed muslin for the border...love that fabric! I gave that grungy old rocker a fresh coat of paint, too.
I found the flag panel that I used in this pillow at the Minnesota Quilters Show and Conference (Duluth) last month.
This quilt was on display at the show ~ All carefully pieced for a pretty good likeness of our President Obama. I like the borders that she used, her choices resulted in a festive looking quilt.
Happy 4th of July to all who celebrate!!!
Such a cute cushion and an amazing quilt!
ReplyDeleteI just counted the flags in the yellow on that quilt and there are 49. Too bad she couldn't squeeze in another one. Love that cushion on the rocker. I need to get my metal chairs sandblasted before I can repaint them and get them on the front porch.
ReplyDeleteThat pillow just says HOME. And that quilt says, yes, this country feels like home again.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful.
Happy Independence Day to you, Kim.
I hated to be reminded that summer was half over already. Boo hoo! Love the pretty pillow.
ReplyDeleteYour new flag pillow looks right at home on that rocker. I love patriotic stuff!
ReplyDeleteThe quilt with the Obama likeness is something to see. The maker did a very good job.
Love your new pillow on your rocker. Have a great 4th of July!
ReplyDeleteI love the pillow, Kim. Great touch. The Obama quilt is pretty impressive. Have a festive Independence Day.
ReplyDeleteKim, Love your pillow, I like tea or coffe died muslin as well. Your pillow turned out nicely. Have a great Independence Day. If my parents were still alive they would be celebrating their 70th wedding anniversary on July 4th. Happy Anniversary MOM & DAD.
ReplyDeleteI love the pillow and the rocking chair. Looks very inviting. I'd love to sit there and do some hand-quilting!
ReplyDeleteThe Obama quilt is amazing.
I like your pillow, it is very festive and appropriate. As for the quilt, someone certainly was dedicated.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pillow, looks homey to me and it aint even my "home"!
ReplyDeleteThe President Obama one is amazing, and must have been done fairly quickly as well! Tracey
Hey Paula...I see 50 flags
