I originally made this same project a few years ago, but I couldn't part with it. On a trip to Hobby Lobby, I found a similar frame. Since it was half price, I didn't mind spending $20.00 on it.
I liked all of the detail.
As I was placing the frame in the car, I noticed a gash out of the side. I marched back in the store to exchange it but no other frames like this remained. I approached the supervisor of the framing department and asked her if she could give me a better deal on this damaged frame. I was thrilled to walk away with a cost of $9.99, which meant I got a refund of $10.00. I also purchased glass to fit into the frame.
I returned home and pulled out my spackling compound and slapped a bunch on the hole. The next day, I sanded it and gave it two coats of ultra 2 white glossy spray paint. Now, onto making the quilt.
I still had a lot of punched out quilt pieces from the last one. While Mr. Thrifty was watching a football game, I pieced and glued the entire quilt before halftime occurred.
After a trip to Hobby Lobby to have the backing and hanger put on, I dropped off the frame for the upcoming auction.
This print could also be used as a dry erase board or a grocery list too.
