Happy Hands, Happy Heart

I just this morning (woke a little before five bells and couldn't get back to sleep) finished a new fall wall hanging.


It's machine pieced and hand quilted, and measures 21-1/2" square.


I debated for a long time what small block to use as a border around this gorgeous colorful leaf fabric I wanted to showcase.  Then it hit me.  Well, of course, what would be better than the Flying Geese block?  Simple and yet appropriate.


When I change my summer decorations to the fall ones (if I ever get around to it), this new piece will hang in our bathroom in this spot.

Answer:
He puts on his batrobe and goes to the batroom.

  7. Dianna - Thank you very much. I do tend to go with the more vivid or vibrant colors. Although I've made many baby quilts using a bit more tamed down colors!

    Elizabeth - Thank you so much. What a nice thing to say!

    Lynne - Oh, for sure, quilting of most any kind is therapy for me. That's when I do my best thinking!

  8. That is one beautiful piece you have created. I'm up early today, and will most likely be crocheting until I have the mental energy to get my day started.

  9. Kristina - Thank you! I woke up at 4 a.m. today (arrrgh), couldn't get back to sleep and went out to the couch thinking I'd do some handwork but was too tired to try. So I read for an hour and a half! :o\

  12. Sandra - Thank you for your nice words about this small wall hanging. And thank you for commenting!

    Phil - Thanks much! That Batman joke has been in our family for a long time. It's not uncommon for someone to say, "I'm going to the batroom for a couple of minutes to talk to the bats." Kinda quirky, I know, but a lot of family jokes are!

  13. Thank you for stopping over and leaving a comment, I appreciate it so. Playing pretend, I like you would play with Barbie Dolls into to my early teen years. Such nice memories.

  14. Faith - You're welcome! My doll playing was (way) before Barbie came on the scene, but I did have a doll that stood about 12-14" tall with hair you could comb and style which I did so much that it started to fall out and my mom sent it away to get a new head and hair!
