Like most quilters, I've spend more time making things for other people than for myself so after finishing quilts for my daughter and son, I'm going to take a little time to work on some projects for myself (is that selfish?). I'm currently working on a small wall hanging for my living room. I have the paper pieced center finished and have applied the applique pieces to the two borders which will go on the top and bottom. This weekend I will satin stitch around the appliques and hopefully finish putting it together.
No. Not at all it is nice to make something for just you sometimes. It is a gorgeous wall hanging too.
ReplyDeleteHello! Thanks for your comments!
ReplyDeleteI've just had a nice time looking at all your work - it is really pretty. Your garden is wonderful too! I love these trees you are working on (and yes - you definitely deserve something for yourself!) Paper pieceing is something I still need to learn all about. There is so much to learn about quilting - I am really excited! Thanks too for the advice to pick up quilting magazines while I'm in the US - I'll definitely do that. Thanks again,
