I hung the Christmas Quilt today!



I had a neighbor/friend bring a higher step stool than what I have, so that I could reach up to almost the ceiling to hang the Christmas Quilt.
Seeing it up like that is sure more inspiring than laying it on my bed (which is a full size only so that it hung over the top and bottom. The quilt is about 72" long and about four feet wide.
I have cathedral ceilings. so it can really be seen from top to bottom.

Angel Wall Hanging



Hard to believe it has been over two weeks since I last posted here on my blog. I have been busy making three lap quilts that a friend ordered for Christmas gifts for her grand children.
I have discovered that I really don't enjoy sewing someone that I did not get to choose the theme for. Sure is a lot more fun to look at fabric and decide what I want to make. Plus I have a really hard time asking for money from friends.
This wall hanging is about 24 in. wide by 20 in. long - the center oval with the angel was downloaded from the Internet on silk - surrounded by a silver glitter ribbon. I have hand quilting all the frames, as well as the rays coming from the center oval. The angel appears to be a water color and is very delicate. If my friend doesn't care for it, I will hang it in my bedroom.
