Three of a Kind |
If you are a quilter who makes wall hangings I had a revelation when I was making the hanging sleeve. If I can explain this, I first make two sleeves so that you can put a hanger on the slat that goes through the sleeves in the center if you want. I sewed the top of the sleeve at the same time I attached the facing to the quilt. Before I did that, I sewed the sleeves together 3/4 of an inch from this seam to help prevent the slat from showing at the top of the quilt. Then the sleeve was hand sewn at the bottom. That is probably clear as mud, if you don't get it, let me know and I will better explain.

All of these donations need a label on the back so I thought I'd do something a little different, so I cut out a leaf shaped piece of fabric that had Wonder Under fused to it. Kind of cute, I thought.

Oh this is a fantastic piece. Thank you for sharing the sleeves on the back. I get it and I like this idea so much especially for smaller quilts. I am going to try this right away. :)
