I finished up one of my mother's projects the other night. She did this wall hanging using a heat & bond method...but she didn't like it. So she went to town turning under all the edges and tacking them down. She got around everything but one tree and then decided that she didn't like the method or the look at all. She folded it up, put it back in the pattern and was getting ready to toss it, when I took it home about 5 years ago. I tacked it to my wall, where it hung, unquilted, until Adam decided he wanted it on his wall. I finished the quilting and then got the binding finished this week. He wanted some names quilted into the quilting.
Since the one tree was only applied with heat & bond, it had started to come off, so I had to do some creative quilting on all the trees.
Tonight was a cold night and it just seemed right that I work with some warm yarn. I bought this yarn last year and decided to do one of my chunky neck scarves with buttons. Before I called it a night, I had half the scarf done, about to start my row for the button-holes. Maybe I'll have the rest done by tomorrow night.
