DK Quilt Guild is a place for quilters to gather, share ideas, projects, and to make the world a
better place, one quilt at a time. Join us and share your thoughts, projects, questions, and tips. Quilters here are at many different levels of skill. Beginners and non-quilters are welcome, too.
Would you like to write a future DK Quilt Guild diary? We NEED writers! Your diary can be elaborate and full of photos, a simple story of your own quilting history or that of someone you love, a discussion of a current project or a technique you're learning, new adventures... You could post quilt retreat-day recipes (things like crockpot meals, so food appears without much attention from you)... We could do show and tell or open thread, also, but either way, we need diarists to host. It is EASY if you're willing to take the chance. Please join in! Please volunteer within the comments or you can send Pam from Calif a kosmail.
This is a topic my DH suggested. I’m not sure how many quilters, here or elsewhere, change out their wall hangings based on the season. Currently I have wall hangings for each season, but now I’m working on a wall hanging for every month. Below are some I currently have.
First one is for Valentine’s Day, and yes, that is a cat square there.
And then we have early spring
And then later spring: (I bought this one)
Then there is the July wall hanging (I need to make a June one).
My autumn wall hanging.
(The background is an embroidery coverlet, so some bits of embroidery showing in the background.)
As I said earlier, I would like to have a wall hanging for each month. I have a pattern for a nice Celtic knot for March, and I’m working on a wall hanging for August below. Need to do more thread painting and then a little regular painting. August is to me Sunflowers.
Currently most of the work for myself is on hold until I finish a throw for my brother and a Christmas cardinal pillow for one of my nieces.
So, does anyone else do seasonal wall hangings? If so, can we see them?
