Quilt Top

Ever since I finished the cutest skirt ever last week, (pics coming soon) I've been totally obsessed with sewing. So I got busy and finally pieced together this wall-hanging for my master bedroom.


I've been embroidering the hands for a year. (I took about 10 months off in the middle for some strange reason. I told you that I needed to work on my start-finish gap this year!)



Seriously, how cute are these little hands? Each child wrote his/her own name, if possible. (Obviously E and Q didn't.)

I know that Quinny's hands look a little alien, but he was so extremely difficult to hold in place that I did my best tracing possible and quickly released him back into the wild. Poor tortured child.
I can't wait to finish this! I already love it. Don't you?

LOVE it! I don't know where I'm going to find the time but I really want to copy this idea :)

My computer is being a pain so I can't see the videos (Shimmerz, etc.) but I'm sure you did a fah-bu-lous job!
