HAND QUILTED WALLHANGING

I started this wallhanging after we moved my mom up to Grayling in May 2012.  It is the first of my hand quilting projects except for a pillow top, which was mostly a learning experience.  Mom got to see the first of the project and I finished the top a couple weeks before her passing.  Then the day she passed on February 19, 2013 I came home about 1 pm and started getting it ready to quilt.  I know that she was helping me because it went to quick and smooth it was amazing.  I had it quilted and the binding sewn on the top in about 4 hours.  I really wanted to have it done to display at the funeral home and it was so great that it happened without any extra anxiety and it turned out AWESOME ! ! !

 I also displayed two of the quilts I had on hand that mom did the embroidery blocks and I put into quilts.
