...this Western Star, it is beautiful. The reason for putting it in my bathroom is that a few years (read many years) ago I took this window frame which is from my father´s garage in my old home town and decided that I would make a little quilt to hang in the middle of it. Well I haven´t yet made the quilt to put in it so when I opened the envelope from Rose Marie I thought YES it is made for the window frame and the green colors match the bathroom exactly. Can you believe it!!! This window frame (old and ugly) means a lot to me and I am so happy to have this quilt. Click on the picture to enlarge it and see all the details in it, beautiful work. (Just to let you know I told Rose Marie where I was going to put the quilt and she is not offended)
She did not only send me the quilt but also a magazine with a beautiful quilt on the front and of course I am dying to make it *LOL* She also made a tutorial for me to show me how she appliques and I am going to give it a try.

Not only is the quilt beautiful, but framing it brings it UP several notches, and having it in a frame that means something to YOU, brings it up several more notches. What a lovely gift.

Gudrun: That is just lovely. Rose marie does such beautiful work!!! I too display art in my bathroom - I currently have an original Nova Scotia Folk Art painting with a decorated frame hanging on a partition made out of a 19th century tongue and groove door - looks great and not out of place at all!
Congratulations to you and Rose marie both for your creativity.
