Happy New Year!

Christmas has come and gone, I slept through the passing of the old year, and now it’s 2011! I have signed up to teach some new classes at Pieceful Heart Fabrics but haven’t started the samples yet…

But I did finish my dad’s wall hanging before he arrived on Christmas Day and he seems to like it!

A first look,

and then a second,

an inspection by Joanne!

and in its entirety,

and one close up of some of the quilting…

The request was for a wall hanging with sky, mountains, trees and water… After a few false starts I went with a simple bargello quilt in the end. The finished piece is about 24″ x 45″. We purchased two of the wooden clips to hang it on the wall. Now dad just needs to find a space to put it in. I’ll be over in May to have a look.

 

No guessing who the most photographed person was in our house this Christmas. Here’s just one of Benjamin, enjoying his toast on Christmas morning.

We are looking forward to a Happy New Year!
