a place to hang quilts outside.....

The wire/cable stuff is hung between two nails.
Maybe next year this building will get painted, for now it will be a weathered wood background.
This should work out really well!

Christmas Eve was warmish and snowless. 
It's like we went on vacation to a warmer place but never left the house.
I was able to take a bunch of pictures of the latest quilts.


iheart flowers.... 
The hearts were won from block lotto in February. 
The flowers were one of the summer blocks. 
When I combined them I thought of my father-in-law, he has so many flowers in the summer. So this went to tractor joe's mom and dad.


Aubri received a baby quilt. Her mom was very excited. I had done one for Aubri's brother a couple years ago. She was hoping Aubri would get a name quilt too.


A breeze came along. The backing is a hot pink sheet, just right for a girl.


As long as I was out there hanging quilts, I went and grabbed this off my bed. Finally, a fairly decent picture of the geocaching quilt!


This isn't a very good picture, but take note of the packages behind the cat. 
They are nicely wrapped gifts for my children.
I am patting myself on the back here
because last year....


I didn't put much effort into wrapping. 




My poor children got grocery sacks that I just stapled shut. Each one got a different store bag. Looks like one of them needed two bags, so they got matching bomgaars bags.

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!

What a great quilt hanging spot! Not to mention great quilts. Your geocaching quilt remains one of my favorites. Just back to reading blogs after nearly a 2-week hiatus. I'm so glad I started with yours!

Very nice place to display quilts. I love the weathered barn wood, and my 2 cents worth is that you shouldn't paint it! I'm sure everyone loves their quilts....

What a COOL spot to hang your quilts!! I am assuming this is 'your' barn??? I kind of like it rustic and worn paint look, paint everything except leave yourself a little area for quilt display!

Hearts and Violet quilt looks wonderful with that perfect border fabric you found!! Why wouldn't they just l-o-v-e it!!

Of course, the geocaching/tree quilt is still one of my favorites!

I'm sewing on some yo yos.....
