Just a little Tweak

Sometime ago Ackfeld Manufacturing sent me this awesome sewing machine shaped quilt holder.  It’s perfect for the Quilt Square Quilt Along blocks!  The only thing I didn’t like is that it was brown.  The wall I wanted to hang it on was a deep burgundy color and the hanger just didn’t show up on the wall.

A cheap can of spray paint and a few minutes later I had this…


A little drying time and two screws and I had this…


I love it!  I like old Singer sewing machines, and the black just seemed to work better with the wall color too!  All in all a win-win!

Stop back later today and I’ll announce the winners of the Quilt Square Quilt Along.
