I love quatrefoil — what a wonderful shape. So steeped in history — I may have a slight obsession with medieval historial fiction…. Anyway, I have been wanting to make something with a Quatrefoil shape for a while now.
In honor of The CSI Project’s first challenge — Paint, I made a couple of painted quatrefoil projects out of an old stool and a big tray.
Come over to The CSI Project for the tutorial and HERE is the stencil.Updated to add: I had a few people ask me the color of the paint on the stool — it’s Folk Art #444 Patina. Also, I’ve updated the links to The CSI Project. I am about to remodel my bathroom and am hoping to do it in this color and white. Blissful!
I’m linking up to these fun places today:
And, have a Terrific Day!
XOXO

These are beautiful. I love them both, but the black and white tugs at my heart. It would look great in my sewing room. Off to find the tutorial. If you love buttons for craft projects, pop over to my blog, I'm having a little give away.
