...and I would be even more excited if I could take a decent photo of it! .....and it won't even do me any good to wait until Mark comes over for dinner (and we all know how he loves to hold up my quilts.....)...because this time he actually has an excuse with his shoulder injury!
:(
Anyhoo............here are a couple of pics of the quilted CW quilt........
I am really happy with it.....thanks Val !!!
When we were at Val's house for a stitching day a while back I commented on the quilt hangers she has in her quilting room - her husband makes them and I ordered one. Can't complain about the service......Val and her hubby David delivered the quilt and the quilt hanger this morning - (along with a packet of Mint Slice biscuits for morning tea) and while I made the hot drinks David put the quilt hanger up for me......
...and you thought I was excited yesterday!!?? LOL! It's the first thing I have put up on the walls in this house........and it's given me the nudge I needed to get some of the pictures out of the spare room where they have been stacked since I moved in and get them up.....might even put the kitchen clock up....it's been leaning against the wall on top of the bread bin for the past year and a bit.......!!
The sun is out today.......I have the house opened up to get rid of any cold germs that may be lingering in the corners......washing on the line blowing in the breeze ......all is well in the house of Loz (and Rose)! I am off to organise some binding for the quilt........
'Til next time.......................Lorraine

AMAZING.....your civil war quilt is just plain amazing. Love the color way you choose. That is one cool quilt hanger..love your quilt hanging there too!! Looks so pretty in your house.
I love your quilt and the Baptist fan quilting is great. I've been meaning to use that one and keep forgetting when I'm at the quilter's. I need to get a quilt hanger but haven't found one yet that's what I want AND affordable. Enjoy your week. Carline

The quilt hanger is da bomb! I really must get around to doing something like that in my sewing room...

I love the Baptist fan quilting on your quilt. Just gorgeous. The quilt hanger is wonderful. You will be thrilled to have your things hanging again.
I like the Victoria Holt quote in your header picture. I had all of her books when I was about 15 or so.
The quilt is gorgeous.I love those colours.
Oh my gosh is that quilt ever beautiful! Love the hanger too!
xx, shell
You did a beautiful job, as usual! How nice for him to hang the quilt holder for you.
Loz, the civil war quilt makes me speechless. And that doesn't happen often! Absolutely stunning, gorgeous, a work of art! Man, oh, man, I'd love to see that in person. I'd love even more to own it. Thinking that's not going to happen. Maybe if I came to you to pick it up? No? Can't blame a girl for trying. Did I mention that I love it?
Well done on your CW quilt, it's beautiful and for hanging the other quilt, it helps turn your house into a home
Your CW Quilt looks amazing Lorraine. You've done a beautiful job. And lucky you. I love your new quilt hanger. It's nice to have that feel good feeling for accomplishments. xx Sue
