Quilts for the floor?

I wish the photos were better, but this is a floor cloth I created sometime ago.  It is with one of my customers now, but it's one of my favorites.  I designed this one shortly after a dear family friend gave me a few of her quilts she collected before she passed away.  I always thought I would create a floor cloth quilt line in her honor and I still may do so.
I would love to know what you think.....feedback is oh so good.

What's happening at Willow Hollow Creations???

Sorry all.  I've seemed to just drop off the face of the earth at times.  I think about blogging all the time, and then know that I really need to spend that time painting and creating.  I've just had a boost of energy and creative sparks.....new paintings in the very near future to show you.  In the meantime here are a couple of pieces that I painted while trying to figure out what to paint.....kinda ironic, don't ya think?

Don't be afraid of a floor cloth!

Floor cloths are such a hard thing to get people to buy into.  They worry about walking on them! Well I can tell you that I have been using my floor cloths in my home for many years and they are super durable.  They add a burst of color to your room, easy to maintain and hard to ruin.  

I am so happy to say that I just received a large order for floor cloths today.  So happy about this.  They will be making a journey to an Rhode Island Primitive Shoppe.

Floor cloths are very durable, easy to clean and pet friendly. They are a wonderful way to add more art to your home....art you can walk on. I personally use floor cloths in most rooms of my home, including under the kitchen table. They all still look great!

I use a heavy weight canvas that I prepare for paint by preshrinking the fabric and hemming with mitered corners. These floor cloths lay flat.

I prim both sides of floor cloth and add two coats of base color to decorated side. Sanding is done between coats and finally the design is painted. After paint cures I apply several coats of polyurethane to both sides. This will protect from moisture and traffic. The finishing touch is rubbing on and buffing off some Johnson's floor wax for extra protection.

You will receive care and installation instructions with your order.

Thank you for stopping,
