A Place For "Granny's Hankie"

This beautiful quilt holder shelf came home with me at the same time as "Anna". I found it hiding in a corner behind vintage snowshoes. Originally, I thought to hang it in the quilting studio behind "Kitty". Then, I decided it would be lost and should have a more prominent home. The large entry hall in the basement has two windows between which the shelf fit perfectly.

The quilt is "Granny's Hankie" by Denise Russart. It was a block of the month on her blog a couple of years ago. It took one year to make the top and one year for me to decided how to quilt it. I used to keep it on my bed, but since we've had Skipper living with us, I switched to my "Oklahoma Backroads" quilt by Bonnie Hunter. Now, I can enjoy my handiwork.

Til next time,
Mary
