The Pumpkin Wall


if you've followed my blog for any time
you know this is one of my designs
a real favorite of mine 
 of course, it resides in NC with my sister

so I recently drew up one to hook for myself
which led to thinking about all my rugs
rolled up in baskets, drawers and on shelves
there are many on the walls
I am tired of looking at them

so I decided to get all my pumpkin rugs together
along with a few cat rugs
to create all wall of them

off the wall came the quilt
wall dusted

step back
it needs painting

there it stands
rugs all cleaned of cat fur
stacked in a big pile
waiting for someone to paint this hallway wall

what do you think the chances are
that I'll just hang another quilt up 
in a few days/weeks...

*****

Wishing everyone a happy Father's Day
I sure miss my Dad's deep voice and wonderful smile
I miss him every day
mostly with a happy heart
for the love he shared with Mom and our family
remains the best memory ever

I'd love to see that wall of pumpkin rugs! My father has been gone for half of my life...my solace...quality beats quantity every time. He was the best!

Oh but don't hang up a quilt before showing us all those beauties you created.

I, too, would love to see all your rugs!
Lucky you to have had such a wonderful dad!
Maybe the painting fairy will show up...and when he/she is done send them my way.

Sounds like a fun way to display them together.
Holidays are always bittersweet, sad for the ones who are gone, but times to remember the happy times spent with them.

Painting is no fun...lol! But, you never know when the ambition will arrive? Always fun getting those sample sized paint pots from the store...just enough for one wall....so we can get all those rugs up and picture posted! hint hint :-)
