Joyce's Farmhouse: Behind the Seams Saturday...

I found an old window frame in a resale shop and was entrigued by the size of it. I had been looking for a large picture frame so that I could make a large design board to place on my sewing room wall.

I brought the frame home, painted it this pretty blue color, added some little wooden decor fans to the top of it and some coat hooks, just in case I want to hang some cute little ribbons or something...

I measured my frame, then cut some foam board to fit the back of the frame. I covered the foam board with some quilt batting. I used a regular stapler and stapled the batting around the edges. But you could use duck tape or a hot glue gun to afix the batting to the the foam board.

I then used a heavy duty staple gun and stapled the batting covered foam board to the the back of the frame, so that the batting side of the board showed through the frame opening.

My husband then screwed some picture hanging hardware to the back of the window frame and hung it on my sewing studio wall.
