Pin It
I made this cute little sunflower wall hanging the day we were leaving and the only thing left to do on it was the binding......well I finally got it on! This is a
Snap Sack Quilt Kit that I won from Fabrics N Quilts in May. I can't believe I waited this long to make it as it went together fast. Their Snap Sack kits come with everything you need including the batting!
There was recently another giveaway for a snap sack so be sure and check out their
Blog, shop and Facebook so you'll know when another one happens!
The size is 14 x 16 and I changed the center of my sunflowers to dark brown (the kit showed light brown) I like the color but I did some pebbling and it doesn't show. Thanks so much Shannon!
I thought I would also share some beautiful murals that we saw in Chillicothe, MO. I'm so glad we went back to take some pictures after checking into our motel as I didn't realize they were everywhere! To be able to paint like this is a real talent! I've included info about the artist at the bottom.
Each painting has a plaque with information about the painting.

The wallhanging is adorable Connie!!
Thanks so much for sharing your sunflowers! You did a great job!
Those murals are fantastic! What a great addition to downtown!
Cute sunflowers!
I'm so happy that you took the pics of these murals. OMG....what talent! I cannot even imagine being able to do something like that. Sure am glad there are people who can. :) Gorgeous!
I'm thinking that if I ever get to MO I might not ever leave. If the architectural aspects of all the towns back there are like these towns you've shown I would be in heaven. :) Thanks, Connie, for sharing!
Love your sunflower wall hanging. And the murals are beautiful, they look so real! Thanks so much for sharing.
There is Connie, back from your trip and right back at the sewing machine. Great little wall hanging. I get my Bernina back tomorrow after 29 days in the shop, I have been using my old Bernina 830, love it and so glad I never got rid of it.
Beautiful sunflowers! Love those murals, they just reach out and touch something in me. Thanks so much for sharing them!
I LOVE your sunflowers! Great look for summer! Thank you for taking pictures of the murals to share with us.
Love those sunflowers and the murals! What a great kit that you won...everything included...a neat idea!
Trying not to drool over your sunflower snap sack :)
I love how the prairie points add so much dimension to the sunflowers! Was that in the directions or did you do that on your own?? Either way, cute as can be!
I'm glad you shared the murals with us too - I always enjoy looking for cool things like that in the towns we visit. I love the way the artist incorporated building features right into the painting, like the Mill, where she (he?) turned the pipe into a telephone pole. They really add beauty and keep the buildings looking nice!
I love the sunflowers...and your are beautiful!!
And the murals...fantastic!!!
Thanks for sharing! I enjoyed the paintings. How far away from home is that?
Cute wallhanging!! Sunflowers are so bright and cheery! Was quite intrigued with all the murals.
Thanks for sharing the photos of the murals. It looks like a lovely town. The 3D sunflower wall handing looks great. I love the way the flower petals look.
Oh Connie, this is just darling! I pinned it right off! :)
The murals are great! Question: when you quilted around the sunflower sections that stand up, did you just pull them into the center of the flower and pin them to get them out of the way?
I am so glad you shared the murals! They are amazing!!
The sunflowers are so sweet. I love those murals. They are amazing and I'm glad you went back to get some photos to share.
Some people are so talented - your quilted sunflowers and those murals!
Love the Sunflower wall hanging, Connie.
Thank you for sharing the pics of the murals. I doubt if I will ever be able to see it in person so I appreciate you sharing with us.
What a fun wall hanging! And those murals! They are gorgeous! Thanks for sharing the pictures.
Very cute and adorable!
Love those murals! What a happy place that must be!
