Duct tape and Snowmen

This is the door to my laundry room and garage, which is usually left open. But when I'm having a party I don't want my messiness to show (I spent all my time cleaning the rest of the house!)

Right before a big party last Christmas I closed this door and, of course, thought "This needs a quilt!" I wanted to show a quilt without marking the door...



TaDa! Duct Tape!

I folded over four pieces of duct tape - one for each corner. The best part is this... it stood the test of time! I didn't take it off until October of this year. No paint came off the door and there was no tape residue on the door. And the quilt back didn't seem any worse for the wear.

This wall hanging is one of the first quilts I did four years ago... I know it was on the cover of a magazine, but can't remember which one. If any one knows where this pattern can be found, let us know!
