A few years ago I fell in love with quilting.I started in making quilts for everyone on
every occassion!!
Well, you can guess that I run into these
old friends on occassion.
I ran into one today!
This little 2'x3' wall hanging lives in my
mother-in-law's bedroom. So I seldom see it!
When I saw it today...
I thought...
"Well, hello friend. We spent a lot of time together, didn't we?"
I hand appliqued it and hand quilted it.
So it wasn't a rush job.
There are the quilts that live with us
that we see every day.
And there are those quilts that are JUST as special
that we bump into only now and then.
BUT they're all good friends.
It's beautiful! It's nice to think of the things we make being out there in the world and loved by someone else :)
ReplyDeleteBeth, I too make seasonal quilts and wall hangings. I love how you made this one. Can you share the pattern name with us?
ReplyDeleteFiesta- This is not a pattern. I cut some background added the border and then appliqued away!
ReplyDeleteYou MIL is lucky to have you!
ReplyDeleteXOX
You know I love that tree.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, its fun to see them again isn't it, the old friends? Sometimes I see bags that I've made for friends and they'll be threadbare and wore out, so I know they've been loved and used!
ReplyDeleteSo nice it is hanging in a spot you can see from time to time.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the tree.....
ReplyDeletethe thought of doing applique is daunting to me... but your tree is lovely enough to make me want to try an applique.....
