The other day I posted photos of my bedroom here as is normally appears. However, for spring I always get tired of the heavy look. I get out my pink and green quilt that I made many years ago.
And yes, I handquilted it. I don't hand quilt anymore as arthritis affects my fingers pretty badly.
I took all the "scarves" off of the dresser and side tables to give it a lighter look as well.
If you look closely, you will see that the bed is up on blocks. A little red-neck, I know. But the bed needed height, and those cute bed riser things weren't available anywhere.
Thank you for looking in on me today. Hope you all have a great week!

Looks so fresh and springy! Those bed riser thingys are expensive. I used blocks also. Just watch those toes!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty quilt. I used to do needlepoint, so I know what you mean about the fingers.
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll drop by AtticMag to see Jane's Met Monday post.
your post reminded me its time to get my winter bedding off- air everything out and put my spring bedding on..
ReplyDeletethats an amazing quilt you made - wow.. you;re very talented.
I agree about the bed risers and if those blocks were free and they get the job done, then all the better...

Jeannine-I love your spring look! You are fortunate that you can "lighten" things up. About those cinder blocks--nobody should be looking under the dust ruffle :) If it works, do it!
ReplyDeleteWe also have a raised bed. I actually have 2 box springs with a dust ruffle of the same color on each. It looks layered and romantic. Instead of the typical wheel on the bed frame, we have about 4 inches of wood blocks...it works for us. I love a tall bed..
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt too!
Looking good!
ReplyDeleteI remember using the bed riser blocks in college. Much more cost effective! I was wondering if you did the faux blocks on the wall! My family does that for a living...faux finishes. It looks great!!
