I can't resist one more post on red-white and blue.
Here's my Geo Washington quilt. I wasn't sure how my design elements were working while I was making it, but ended up being very happy with it.
My husband purchased this WW2 poster on ebay and found the frame at a thrift store and gave it to me for Christmas. I thought it was awesome and so thoughtful.
This belonged to my FIL. It's a record /cassette player, radio and cd player and looks so adorable and old fashioned!
You see this going up the stairs.
If you were a guest, this is where you would stay.
If you are in the United States, have a happy and safe 4th of July!
Happy Fourth...hurrah for that Red, White and Blue!!!
ReplyDeleteI so like all those sawtooth stars on the outer border of the George Washington quilt. Sawtooth stars was something I focused on a lot when I first began making quilts. So many variations you can do with them.
ReplyDeleteIs the patriotic quilt on the bed a Kansas Troubles design?
lovely quilts and displays...beautiful home....thanks for the tour!
ReplyDeleteI think I would like to just have a little mini vacation there.... Have a wonderful holiday!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous quilts and displays - and what a thoughtful gift from your hubby - I'd say he's a keeper. Love your guest room - I wanna come stay - it's so inviting. I would imagine that once someone is there you may have a hard time getting rid of them - who would want to leave!?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the patriotic home tour! How do you get your guest to leave that wonderful guest room? Enjoy the day!

Happy 4th to you too and Happy Sewing
for Christmas...one of my all time favorites.
Happy 4th of July to you too and Happy Sewing
I love seeing all of your patriotic things! I especially love the bed quilt in the guest room and the GW quilt. I have that same panel and it has been sitting around looking for the perfect quilt. I really love how you so successfully downplayed the dark brown of the panel. That is probably the biggest reason mine is still sitting there. I hope you don't mind if I "emmulate" yours. (I also have the flying Uncle Sam figure that is on your phonograph--I got mine at Fred Meyer when we lived in Alaska.)
ReplyDeleteOh I would live to be a guest so I could stay in that cozy adorable room! And I think George would love his quilt, nice job!
ReplyDeleteLori, I'm ready to move into the guest room any time... just probably might have trouble not taking home a souvenir!! Have a great 4th... Can't wait to see you. Safe travels back home.
ReplyDeleteLove the Red White and Blue posts! You have a Safe and Happy 4th of July, too! Looking at all of your quilts, I see that I need to make more in Red White and Blue...
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th July and I very much admire all your red, white and blue quilts!

ReplyDeleteYou've created so many great patriotic displays. Your George Washington quilt has wonderful borders, all working together and the WWII poster is a super find.
ReplyDeleteYour George is wonderful! Happy to see the guest room - best to be prepared ;), Is the man in the moon handpainted? He is one of my favorite images, along with the cow jumping over the moon. Sweet & patriotic decor!
