So, this is the Dining Room! Did I happen to mention “I love quilts”? Well I do, and I love them in the dining room. I make quilts for my dining room table. I have one Christmas and one for Summer but I needed one more. Last year I bought some Alexander Henry Fiesta fabric in 3 color ways. In case you didn’t know, Fiesta is dinnerware made by Homer Laughlin beginning in the 1930’s and is very collectible. I have some of the older pieces but my collection is mostly from 1995 to present.
I made some Fiesta fabric valances for the kitchen and Dining room.
Cream Background Fiesta Fabric
From the deep charcoal background I made a One Block Wonder (OBW) quilt for the table.

I used a repeat of the original fabric in the center of the quilt and surrounded it with OBW Hexagons. I’m not sure how I did it, but it came out pretty nice.

This wall hanging was a gift from a friend.
My sister makes beautiful, but unusual counted cross stitch.
