On my design wall are 3 projects that were started and abandoned and it is about time to get back to them. There is hand applique, hand piecing and patchwork .... they are all so different and will keep me from getting bored too quickly and hopefully not start a new project ..... uhmm not too soon! :o)
My pinwheel top (on the table) is having borders added. Now, this is one quilt that will not get me stopped as I know exactly what to do with the borders. My SIL Jeanne recently sent a photo of a memory wall hanging that she made for a friend. When this lady's husband died, she set aside all his jeans, flannel shirts, ties and hankies and gave them to Jeanne to make something with them.
Jeanne represented in the design their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, wedding date of the couple, their flower of the month, zodiac signs, the Elizabeth Mountain and snow flakes. Jeanne, you did a lovely job!
Have a great day!

I hope you get to spend time on the house blocks. I am anxious for a finished quilt picture.
Your design wall looks so great with those amazing projects. I love them all and the pinwheel looks wonderful too, looking forward to seeing what you do with the borders on that one.
Whhops, I meant to add that Jeanne did such a fabulous job of the memory quilt. It's very special.
What a wonderful memory quilt - I'm sure that will be cherished! That's an interesting project on the left, with all the dots - and good to see there is a kitty helper.
You have a very pretty design wall! Jeanne did an amazing job on the memory quilt. It will become a family heirloom for certain.
I love the items on your wall and the pinwheel quilt. I'll keep an eye on your progress. The memory quilt is wonderful. It will be a real treasure.
What a lovely memory quilt Jeanne has made
I am going to make one out of my daughters shirts in her memory
Love the projects on your design wall! And your work table has the perfect supervisor watching as you work on those borders! Merry Christmas!
Thank you for the lovely SSCS parcel. The flowers are just lovely and I am very grateful for the time and effort that you put into making my gift.
Happy 2012,
