Today is my turn to show the musical projects I have created. Thank you, Carla, of Creatin' in the Sticks, for hosting this hop. Yesterday I saw some fabulous projects, and I'm eager to see everyone else's!
I am upset with myself for not being able to finish my project, but with life getting in the way, it just didn't quite happen.
This is The Piano Quilt, designed by Pam Booras. It's about 30 x 30".
I have the inside all quilted but couldn't get to the border or the binding. Being gone all weekend long didn't help. At least you can see what I've done so far.
The quilting is a flower design, maybe kind of like roses?? I will be making a 3-D red rose to sit on the piano after I finish quilting and binding it.
I play the piano but I don't have a grand. When I saw this pattern several years ago, I had to have it, and when Carla announced this hop, I knew what I would make. It will be done in another day or 2. :)
I have done a few other musically themed things in the past:
This musical 3-panel number sits on my piano sometimes, especially around Valentine's Day.
The above is from DIY (Frond Designs) in Webster Grove, MO--a row by row the year the theme was music. Sadly, that shop isn't open anymore, but Frond Designs is alive and well in Iowa.
I made up this Amazing Grace panel several years ago for our church district auction, and then made another to hang in my own church.
Don't forget to visit everyone else and see what they've been up to!

Your piano quilt is awesome. It will look great with a red rose on it. Love your other projects as well!
ReplyDeleteNo need to beat yourself up about not getting the binding on. We all have those kind of times and it's nice to know we are not the only ones behind sometimes. Your piano is gorgeous and a rose on it, is going to be the icing on the cake, so to say! What a great addition to your 3 panel piece too! Thanks for sharing your love of music with us!
ReplyDeleteGreat projects; love the piano quilt!
ReplyDeleteThis will be amazing when you finish (although it already is amazing). I love the borders and the 3D rose will really set it off. WOW, this is great. Thank you for sharing the pattern name and designer. I may have to give it a try sometime.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt looks great, and you'll get the binding on. I like that little red border peeking through!
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is already beautiful and I can imagine how it will look even more beautiful with the rose on it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect project - a piano is ideal for a music hop. This is a busy, busy time of year so I'm not surprised that you didn't quite finish it. Thanks for sharing that you'll be adding the flower at the end - what a great idea.
ReplyDeleteOh my, this is gorgeous! Life gets in the way for all of us sometimes, but I'm so glad you posted what you had done. It really is amazing!
ReplyDeleteGreat music themed quilts, all of them. I think they are all lovely. Thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAll your projects are lovely, but I'm especially drawn to the three piece one that stands on you piano. So pretty!
