Wall Hangings

The quickest way to cover up a dirty spot on the wall or just an empty spot is with a wall hanging.  It's a way to add a splash of color and that homey feeling to those boring walls at work. (if you have boring walls at work :) ).

Today on Piney's Needle Facebook page, I shared images of my new office and two wall hangings that I added.  I'm only going to be in the office for about 2 months, so I needed something temporary and something to cover up hangers on the walls.  We aren't allowed to hang things ourselves or remove stuff, so I'm stuck with hangers from the previous occupant in odd places.  Two of the walls are also metal, so it is very hard to hang anything on them and I use lots of magnets or stick on pictures.

 This Curves wall hanging is new, using a ruler from Sew Kind of Wonderful.  This is the only thing I've made so far, but I can't wait to try more stuff with the ruler (which Granny B's in Dickson ordered for me and has some in stock).  This wall hanging is for sale, $65,  and I would be happy to take it down and mail it to you.  I can now take credit cards through my phone using Square!  It's 16 in x 36 in, with a hanging sleeve.  I've got just a simple dole stick through the hanger with a ribbon.  Magnets are holding it up on my wall.

                

To cover up the brackets from a previous dry erase board, I needed something a bit wider.  This floral wall hanging is my own design, made from vintage fabrics from my grandmother's stash, dating back to the 1960s.  This is also a metal wall, so I'm using magnets to hang, but they are resting on the brackets underneath, since this one is a little heavier.  It's also for sale, $65, 25 in x 29 in, with a hanging sleeve.

The flowers are all hand appliqued and the back ground is machine pieced and machine quilted.

I added a vintage button on the Yo-Yo center of the flower and some simple embroidery to enhance the stems.  The flower buds are just folded fabric appliqued down.

 I wasn't really fond of the flower at first, but now that it's finished, I really do like it.  The wall hanging just has a lot of movement to it.

These two pieces have really cheered my office up.

As I mentioned, they are both for sale, so let me know if you are interested.
