My "Find" from the Girls' Day Out

I really mulled whether to buy this quilt rack.
The tole painting is nicely done [I took classes and did tole painting rather well at one time.]
My concern was the orange tone of the paint--I'm into dark reds.
The quality of the rack finally won out.
Matt has just put it up for me on the wall in this room--which is both guest room and the space with my PC.
The quilt is one I made about 8 years ago from a line of Robyn Pandolph fabrics.
I drafted the pattern by looking at a tiny quilt mag ad for the fabric.

M. suggests I should put some of the bigger china cats on the ledge--we're assuming the resident felines won't leap from the bed to the quilt rack!

  1. Looks great! If your cats are like mine they'll clear the shelf to make a larger resting area.

  2. How wonderful that rack is ...I have never seen one before ... not sure they sell/make them over here ...but they are are a perfect addition to a room. Yes that shelf is perfect for your ornaments ....and felines too lol...it amazes me how high they leap and onto very narrow ledges too.

  7. The quilt rack is nice and the quilt is absolutely gorgeous. I'm a less is more kind of person so I wouldn't put anything at all on the shelf.
