I made a quilted furnace thermometer (???)
It all started late Thursday afternoon. The NSDH (Not So Dear Hubby-
you'll understand why shortly... VBG) said the president of our church congregation emailed that she needed the "thermometer" by Sunday morning. Huh? Then he said he forgot to ask Kim (his DD) to make a "furnace thermometer" for our church. HUH??? Now, Kim is a great gal and has many talents, but I don't think she does furnace repairs! (Our church's furnace is very old and has been on it's last legs for several years. Hubby and another gentleman are constantly making repairs to keep it limping along- and parts for it are getting harder to find.) It was like pulling hen's teeth, but I finally got the whole story from him... he had volunteered his DD to make a "thermometer" to mark the monetary contributions the church receives towards the cost of replacing our decrepit ol' furnace. Kim works full time plus a lot of overtime, has a 3 y.o. son and a DH... I'm sure she would not apprciate being asked to produce this thermometer on such short notice on one of her very busy weekends. So.... I "volunteered" to make it..... Since my medium of choice is fabric and thread over poster board and markers, I told that NSDH of mine that I would quilt a "furnace thermometer" for our church. I work all day on Saturdays, which means I had only Thursday evening and Friday to design and make this "thermometer"--- hence the Not-So-Dear part. So, I have made a "Quilted Furnace Thermometer"! Here's proof- LOL! (It's a simple quickie wallhanging using Heat & Bond Ultra and only the background area is quilted.) http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/...57568468xEPnle Leslie (VERY tired!

Kate-
I had to get creative... I guess that's what you could call it??? I printed out a table with the dollar amounts on my computer, enclosed it in clear, self-adhesive shelf paper (a low-tech, inexpensive, quilter's version of laminating!!! VBG!) and glued the black fabric frame with H&B Ultra on the back of the fabric (which only overlaped the laminated table by 1/4 in. on the inside edges)- I glued the frame to the table just around that inside overlapped edge. Then I fused the outside edge of the frame to the background. My red Sharpie marker writes on the clear shelf paper and you can see the numbers thru the red ink, so we can use the Sharpie to "raise the temperature" as the donations come in.

You did a *great* job on that.

That hunky Mr. COllins better realize how lucky he is ; )
You did a fantastic job Leslie. I am not surprised at how great it came out but I am amazed at the speed you did it. Wow! God Bless you seems appropriate ; ) Taria, humming Hank William's 'Move it on over' song. http://www.cowboylyrics.com/lyrics/w...-over-998.html |
