I went to my sewing lesson the other day and had the very best time. I decided to make a wall hanging and actually quilt it myself. Now, I have made quilts in the past, but I’ve only sewn the pieces together and had someone else do the quilting. Let me see if I can find a picture of one of them.
This is my first one, although I didn’t make it wide enough.
Here is a close up. I really like it.
I decided to make my wall hanging with my Christmas fabric because I have so much of it. I bought it a few years ago, for what I can’t remember. I didn’t want to buy more fabric because I have been spending a little too much money lately on fun things. Anyway, this will be great to try on since I consider it “free” material.
These are going to be the borders.
These are my cute little triangles for the hanging.
I took me forever to cut them because I was so afraid I would mess them up.
Here is my stack. I have to sew them together into squares. That’s my homework for this week.
Don’t worry, it will look good when I get it done – At least that’s what I tell myself.
I’ll keep you apprised of my progress.
I have big plans. I’m hopeful that it turns out nice and I can make wall hangings for all the seasons and holidays. I have the perfect place in my home to hang them. I only hope that I get this done before next Christmas.
These are my partners in crime. Wherever I am, they are. Here, we are in the office/craft room. The problem is that Sugar always wants to be under the sewing table. They are such mama’s girls.
