The Irish Chain
The Irish Chain Is the perfect quilt for March. The colors are bright and cheery. I love this quilt and one day I will quilt it. Oops. The Back is on and the sides are all finished, but I have not put it on the frame yet to quilt. It will have quilted shamrocks in the center of the large white spaces.
I will put the quilt on the large quilt frames for a queen sized quilt and baste it all across both ways then use my mother's small frames to quilt it from the center out. These techniques will prevent the top from moving around. I will add those pix as soon as I get those steps in motion. Soon, I promised myself.

Can you see the difference? Dan got a new camera and so I thought I would compare the pix. I personally cannot see much difference. He used my blog as his excuse to buy a new camera. Now is he going to take all of my blog pictures? I will have to learn to use it myself with all the bells and whistles. I don't do bells and whistles too well.
I also made the pillows covers with the same pattern and put zippers in them so they can be stored flat in a smaller space.

I also made a baby quilt several years ago that I can use on the sofa as March decorations.
It has been quilted, and the back is a white with green polka dot.
I love to change the color of the towel, pictures and some of the curtains to match the holiday of the month. The window valences and curtains have already been replaced with Easter colors.

| Master Bath |
The corner of my master bathroom has greens and greens. The picture of daffodils was painted with pastels by my third daughter, Alicia, when she was in high school. The little planter rack on the toilet back holds extra hand towels and wash cloths.
You might notice the little electronic device on the wall under the picture. It is an emergency light.

It comes on when the power goes off. There are several of them placed around the house.

This one is the switch. When the electricity is off (or when one of the grandkids pull it out of the socket) it sends a signal to the others to turn on the light. It is a great idea when the power suddenly goes off at nightime. You can maneuver around the house without a lantern or candle. I bought it at Amazon.
Sorry for the late post. Life got interrupted before I got it done.
HAPPY "WEAR'IN OF THE GREEN"

I did the daffodil picture actually. I did it in pastel. I remember sitting in your front yard doing it. This was a long time ago one spring day.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry; I always thought it was Alicia, picture. It is one of my favorite. Thank you, Angie.
