My Very First (and only for that matter) Wall Hanging


My mother-in-law, the woman who graciously taught me to quilt, gave me for Christmas a gift certificate to Keepsake Quilting. Now for those of you who aren't quilters or simply don't recieve this amazing magazine, it is one of the greatest places to get any type of quilting materials. I thought I had hit the jackpot, needless to say! I ordered several different things and tried to stretch the gift as far as possible! In the group I ordered a fat quarter pack of french country patterns, it was beautiful! And so I embarked on a new adventure.....I decided to make a wall hanging. I went through my pattern books and picked out a pattern and then decided on how I would add sashing and borders. The I took the gorgeous pack of fabric and chose which colors would go where! I hope you enjoy looking at my first adventure in wall hanging, it is entirely hand quilted (don't you just love hand quilting the small ones, it is so much simpler in my opinion?!). I hope you let me know what you have done in terms of a wall hanging and post it on your site and link it so I can look at your great ideas!
