Picture THIS…

Do you remember this old frame…?  I bought it at a Garage Sale down  in Palm Springs while GSing with my Partners in Crime, Sandy and Jennifer.  Both of these ladies wrinkled their nose when they saw what I had purchased for $2!  Yup…they were both thinking ‘JUNK’!  But you know the old saying…one woman’s junk, is another woman’s treasure!  And treasure this was!!  I happy danced this one to the car!

Now just check this out ladies!  Huh..huh…is this not PERFECT?

All that I need to do is sew a little border around the whole quilt and clean up the frame (just a bit) and I have got something PICTURE PERFECT!

“SCORE!!” 

Have a Fun Friday and Happy Quilting!~P

  9. Good frame for the little houses. I buy old frames and end up spray painting them.

  21. Love how it looks in the frame. I have been collecting frames for years, so was thinking I need to make some mini quilt pieces that I can frame.
