Decorating

Wednesday, June 15th, 2011

I love to use art quilts in my decorating. I like that they are usually large, colorful, and graphic, yet bring a softness.

“Prairie Fire” was made to fill this space in the living room where previously I had four small framed counted cross stitch pictures. Eventually I would like to make the scene to show other seasons.

Hanging in the dining room currently, is this piece by Ruth McDowell, “Watermelon Chickens”,  on loan from the Thomas Contemporary Quilt Collection. Amazing selections of fabrics, as usual!
