Many of you will remember when I showed you the photo of one of my barn landscapes....this one....
It was only my second attempt at this art form and I was surprised when my friend wanted to take it, along with the other one I just finished, to the local quilt guild meeting to show the members. She was hopeful that someone might want to commission me to make more. She wondered if I would like to set a price on this one (the other one is spoken for) and I gave her a number that I thought was quite steep. Well, right now I'm bouncing off the walls because it SOLD!!!! Even more exciting is that the guild itself is buying it and will be using it as one of their raffle prizes at their next quilt show being held in 2019. I am blown away and still can't quite believe it!!
And, just to prove that something else is happening here at Chez Magpie....the pile of mittens is growing!
The pair on the left is for a man and the rest are all for women. I still have to add the buttons for additional pizzaz on each one.

Congratulations, that is fabulous news. Your barn quilt is gorgeous, so I am not surprised that it was snapped up so quickly.
ReplyDeleteWOW!! How amazing!! Though, I am not at all surprised your beautiful barns were ripped of the wall, as a "must have". Me thinks, your barns are fabulous. Remember Mary Anne, I knew you before you were rich and famous.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!! and well deserved. And what a good friend to get your work out for others to appreciate..
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Mary Anne! That's great news. Beautiful mittens too. The teapot yarn bowl / keeper is a marvelous one. Now I wish I had kept mom's old brown teapot. My brother is the new owner of that one.
